加纳总统 John Mahama 先生已暂停首席大法官 Gertrude Torkornoo 女士的职务。此举是在成立一个委员会调查针对这位最高司法官员的请愿之后作出的。

总统府在一份声明中宣布了这一举措，称此举符合宪法规定，并是在与国务委员会协商后作出的。

负责调查这些请愿的委员会由来自各个领域的人员组成：

1. Gabriel Scott Pwamang 法官 -- 最高法院法官

2. Samuel Kwame Adibu-Asiedu 法官 -- 最高法院法官

3. Daniel Yaw Domelevo 先生 -- 前审计长

Mahama Suspends Chief Justice after Setting up Committee to Probe Petitions

President John Mahama has suspended the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo.

This follows the establishment of a committee to investigate petitions against the top judicial official.

The move, announced in a statement from the Presidency, is in compliance with constitutional provisions and follows consultations with the Council of State.

The President cited Article 146(6) of the Constitution, which mandates the establishment of a committee to probe allegations against a superior court judge if a prima facie case is established.

According to the statement, President Mahama determined that sufficient grounds exist to warrant further inquiry.

The committee tasked with investigating the petitions comprises individuals from various sectors:

1. Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang – Justice of the Supreme Court

2. Justice Samuel Kwame Adibu-Asiedu – Justice of the Supreme Court

3. Daniel Yaw Domelevo – Former Auditor-General

4. Major Flora Bazwaanura Dalugo – Ghana Armed Forces

5. Professor James Sefah Dzisah – Associate Professor, University of Ghana

In accordance with Article 146(10) of the Constitution and upon the advice of the Council of State, President Mahama issued a warrant suspending the Chief Justice with immediate effect pending the outcome of the committee’s proceedings.
