Ghana's Chief Justice Suspended: A Constitutional Crisis?

Ghana's president suspended the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo, in a move that's never happened before in the country's history.

This decision comes after three secret complaints were filed, leading to an investigation into her actions and suitability for the role.

Chief justices usually have strong protection from being removed, requiring serious accusations like wrongdoing or bad behavior.

Critics worry this unprecedented suspension undermines the judiciary's independence, raising significant constitutional concerns.
