Ghana Politician Questions Chief Justice's Conduct
During a June 25, 2025 interview with TV3, Jantuah accused Ghana’s top judge of presenting contradictory public and private personas.
Jantuah specifically challenged Torkornoo’s references to Christian values during the address, stating: “I saw a fake person, not a Christian.” The outspoken political figure alleged inconsistencies between the Chief Justice’s spiritual declarations and professional conduct. Her remarks referenced Torkornoo’s handling of controversial cases including the disputed Assin North parliamentary election.
The criticism centers on perceived contradictions in judicial administration under Torkornoo’s leadership. Jantuah questioned the Chief Justice’s management of high-profile constitutional matters while making religious declarations during official functions. These comments come amid ongoing political tensions between the opposition NPP and President Mahama’s NDC government.
Chief Justice Torkornoo’s press conference had emphasized judicial independence and ethical standards, urging media accuracy in court reporting. The Judicial Service has not responded to Jantuah’s remarks as of June 26. Legal observers note such public disputes between political figures and judiciary leadership remain uncommon in Ghana’s recent history.
