Accra, June 25, GNA – Mr Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Presidential Spokesman and Minister of State in-charge of Government Communications, has dismissed attempts to link the Government to the murder of three High Court Justices on June 30, 1982. 

He said, he was placing it on record that attempts to link the ghastly killings of the three High Court Judges and a military officer in 1982, to the current petitions calling for the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo were most disingenuous.  

Speaking at a press conference at the Presidency in Accra on Wednesday, in response to an earlier one by the suspended Chief Justice, Mr Ofosu reiterated that the Government and President Mahama had nothing to do with the killing of any judge. 

The Presidential Spokesman noted that there was absolutely no nexus between the petitions that had been brought and that unfortunate incident in the nation’s past.  

“So, any effort to link the two is regrettable and should not find space in this sort of discourse. It is the most undesirable thing. It is most unacceptable,” the Minister said.
