Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has called on suspended Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo to reconsider her choice of legal representation in the ongoing proceedings concerning her possible removal from office.

Speaking on Citi Eyewitness News on Thursday, May 22, Kpebu criticized the Chief Justice’s decision to opt for former Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame as her counsel, describing it as “tacky” and potentially damaging to her case.

Dame is currently representing Justice Torkornoo in her Supreme Court motion seeking to injunct the committee established to hear the petitions against her from proceeding.

“Chief Justice choice of Godfred Dame for this advocacy is tacky; it is not the best at all. Godfred Dame is on record to be suborning witnesses, coaching witnesses to go and lie to a court of law and all that.” Kpebu said.

He claimed it is puzzling why the Chief Justice would select Dame amid such controversies, especially given the need for credibility in this highly sensitive matter.

“So, you wonder why, of all the lawyers in Ghana, Chief Justice Torkornoo will pick Dame to represent her in this advocacy. It’s not on,” he added. “She has to fire Dame.”
