The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) has issued a statement on the process for the removal of the Chief Justice, emphasizing the importance of upholding the Rule of Law and safeguarding the independence of the Judiciary. The GBA notes that the process must adhere to the constitutional prescriptions outlined in Article 146 (6) to (10) of the 1992 Constitution.
While acknowledging that the matter is currently sub judice, the GBA expresses its hope that all actors involved will be guided by the principles of the Rule of Law and the Spirit of the Law. The association also reminds those involved in the process to exercise discretion in a manner that enhances the independence and image of the Judiciary, as outlined in Article 296 of the Constitution.
The GBA reaffirms its commitment to defending and strengthening the justice delivery system in Ghana and upholding the Constitution. The statement was signed by Kwaku Gyau Baffour, Secretary of the GBA, on April 24, 2025.
