Ningo Prampram lawmaker Samuel Nartey George has described the way and manner in which Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoor schedules political cases as judicial thuggery.
He was reacting to the listing of the case filed by South Dayi MP, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, for a hearing, ahead of the case of Richard Dela Sky v. the Parliament of Ghana and the Attorney-General.
The Chief Justice scheduled Dafeamekpor’s case for today, Wednesday, March 27, ahead of the Dela Sky matter which was filed earlier.
But in a post on his X platform, Sam George, one of the sponsors of the anti-gay bill said “There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the current Chief Justice is engaged in judicial thuggery and poses an existential threat to the dispensation of justice in an equitable, fair, and just manner.
“Such partisan behaviour at the apex of our judiciary must not be entertained and must be condemned with all the force reasonable people can muster. Judicial gangsterism is a precursor for the breakdown in the dispensation of justice and the doctrine of the rule of law. Common sense ought to be an ingredient in the dispensation of justice.”
