The Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference says the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, threatens judicial independence and could destabilize the country’s democratic foundations.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, July 23 the Conference emphasized the critical role of the judiciary in preserving peace and national unity, especially in an election year marked by growing political tension.

The Bishops, while acknowledging the need for due process, warned against actions that could appear to compromise the integrity of the judiciary.

“While acknowledging the necessity of due process, we caution strenuously against any action, perceived or actual, that could compromise the independence or impartiality of the judiciary.

The removal of a sitting Chief Justice is a matter of profound national significance.”

“This process must be scrupulously guided by constitutional principles, absolute procedural fairness, and a clear respect for the doctrine of the separation of powers. Any precedent that appears to place the judiciary at the mercy of the executive risks irreparably eroding public trust in the very institution citizens rely upon for justice,” they stressed.

They further urged political leaders to prioritize national cohesion and respect institutional integrity, warning that public confidence in the courts could be severely damaged if the judiciary is seen as vulnerable to political pressure.

President John Mahama suspended Justice Torkornoo under Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution, triggering widespread debate over the legality and implications of the decision.

The Chief Justice has since mounted a legal defense, filing cases at both the Supreme Court and High Court, challenging the process that led to her removal.

The Conference also referenced the recent National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving initiated by President Mahama, describing it as a welcome gesture that should now translate into tangible efforts toward unity and reconciliation.
