Proceed cautiously on CJ’s removal – Organised labour warns Mahama

Organised Labour has urged President John Dramani Mahama to hasten slowly in the removal process of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, arguing that it could have a consequential impact on the country’s democracy.

The call by Organised Labour comes amidst the suspension of the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo, after the determination of a prima facie case in response to at least three separate petitions seeking her removal from office.

Addressing a gathering at the 2025 May Day Celebration on Thursday, May 1, the Secretary General of the Trades Union Congress, Joshua Ansah, also criticised the government over what he described as a failure to take decisive action against illegal mining, widely known as galamsey.

“Mr. President, Organised labour is duly concerned about this development. Mr President, these patients set the country and its democracy on a slippery slope. We advise Mr. President that you hasten slowly and proceed cautiously on this matter. Your decision will be consequential for our democracy,” He cautioned.
