The government has denied allegations of political persecution against suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.

Government spokesperson, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, insists that the judicial process follows constitutional requirements. 

The rebuttal came during an emergency press conference at Jubilee House on Wednesday, directly responding to Justice Torkornoo’s controversial public address barely an hour prior.

Kwakye Ofosu stressed that President John Mahama’s decision to suspend the Chief Justice was based solely on established constitutional procedures, not political motives.

The government spokesperson directly addressed Justice Torkornoo’s claims of unfair treatment during the investigation. 

He explained that security protocols at Osu Castle were standard procedure for high-profile cases, not personal intimidation tactics.
