President John Dramani Mahama has forwarded three separate petitions from various individuals requesting the removal of the Chief Justice to the Council of State.
The President's move which is in accordance with Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution, will enable the Council of State to initiate the necessary consultation process.
Confirmation
This development was confirmed in an official statement signed by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, who serves as Spokesperson to the President and Minister for Government Communications.
Basis
The statement did not specify the grounds for the petitions or the identities of the petitioners. However, the move signals a significant legal and constitutional process, with potential implications for the judiciary and governance in Ghana.
