Ghana's Suspended Chief Justice Fights Back: Inquiry Halted?

Ghana's Suspended Chief Justice Seeks to Halt Inquiry: A Political Commentary The legal battle surrounding Ghana's suspended Chief Justice continues to unfold, with the Chief Justice filing an application to block a parliamentary committee from proceeding with its inquiry. This move has sparked significant debate within the country's political landscape. Hon. Alexander Kwasi Acquah, former Deputy Health Minister and MP for Akyem Oda, weighed in on the matter, offering insights into the constitutional implications and the importance of preserving the integrity of the office of Chief Justice, regardless of the individual holding the position. "We are preserving the office of the Chief Justice," stated Hon. Acquah in a recent interview. "It is not about the person, but about the institution." His comments highlight the delicate balance between accountability and the preservation of judicial independence. The committee's inquiry into the Chief Justice's conduct is expected to continue, despite the application to halt proceedings. The outcome of this legal challenge will have significant implications for the future of the Ghanaian judiciary and the ongoing political discourse.
