President John Dramani Mahama has removed Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo from office with immediate effect after the Article 146 Committee that investigated petitions seeking her dismissal submitted its first report.

The announcement was made on Monday, September 1, 2025, by Presidential Spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu.

The Article 146 Committee, established under Article 146(6) of the 1992 Constitution, was tasked with reviewing a petition submitted by Mr. Daniel Ofori.

After examining all evidence, the committee concluded that the Chief Justice had committed acts constituting misbehavior under Article 146(1) and recommended her removal.

“This follows receipt of the report of the Committee constituted under Article 146(6) to inquire into a petition submitted by a Ghanaian citizen, Mr Daniel Ofori. After considering the petition and the evidence, the Committee found that the grounds of stated misbehaviour under Article 146(1) had been established and recommended her removal from office. Under Article 146(9), the President is required to act in accordance with the committee’s recommendation.,” Mr. Kwakye Ofosu said in a statement.

Chief Justice Torkornoo had previously characterized the suspension and inquiry as “arbitrary” and “cruel” and had refused to resign, asserting her right to defend herself against the allegations.

In April 2025, President Mahama suspended Chief Justice Torkornoo after a prima facie case was established in three petitions alleging misconduct and incompetence.

Under Article 146 of Ghana’s 1992 Constitution, the President appointed the five-member committee to investigate the claims.

The five-member committee, was chaired by Supreme Court Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, with former Auditor-General Daniel Yaw Domelevo, Major Flora Bazaanura Dalugo of the Ghana Armed Forces, and Professor James Sefah-Dzisah of the University of Ghana and Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie as members.
