A five-member committee set up by President John Dramani Mahama to investigate petitions filed against the Chief Justice will commence hearings on Thursday, May 15, 2025. The committee, chaired by Justice Gabriel Scott Wamang of the Supreme Court, was established in accordance with Article 146(6) of the 1992 constitution.
The committee’s establishment followed a determination of a prima facie case against the Chief Justice and was done in consultation with the Council of State. According to the President’s spokesperson, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the committee will sit three times a week to conduct its proceedings.
The committee’s task is to thoroughly investigate the petitions and present its recommendations to the President upon completion of its work. The outcome of the probe is expected to shed light on the allegations against the Chief Justice and inform the President’s next course of action.
