Ghana's President removes Chief Justice Torkornoo over misconduct allegations, marking a first in the nation's history.

President John Dramani Mahama of Ghana has removed Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo from office due to allegations of misconduct, including misuse of public funds. The decision follows a committee's findings that there were sufficient grounds for her removal under Article 146 of Ghana's Constitution. Torkornoo has denied the allegations, claiming they are politically motivated. This is the first time a sitting Chief Justice in Ghana has been dismissed.
