Ghana's Supreme Court Strikes Down Chief Justice's Appeal

Ghana's Supreme Court Rejects Chief Justice's Affidavit: Legal Experts Weigh In The Supreme Court of Ghana delivered a decisive ruling on May 28, 2025, unanimously rejecting a supplementary affidavit submitted by the suspended Chief Justice, Justice Kwasi Anin-Yeboah. This decision has sparked debate about legal procedures and the rights of the Chief Justice during the ongoing removal process. The court's decision was based on the lack of proper legal standing for the supplementary filing. "The Chief Justice isn’t on criminal trial—she deserves the full respect of her office," stated Kwaku Ansa-Asare, former director of the Ghana School of Law, during a phone interview on JoyNews. He emphasized the importance of adhering to due process and respecting the Chief Justice's position, even amidst the suspension. The video shows the Chief Justice leaving the court, surrounded by a crowd of journalists and onlookers, highlighting the public interest in the case. The court's decision underscores the importance of upholding legal procedures and ensures that the removal process is conducted fairly and transparently. The case continues to unfold, with further legal proceedings expected in the coming weeks.
