Assembly Members vs Chief Justice: Who Has More Legal Protection in Ghana?

On September 1, 2025, the President of the Republic signed a warrant removing the suspended Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkoono. Her removal has sparked widespread debate over the legality of the process. Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution has become the subject of heated discussions, with lawyers, politicians, civil society, and even “pocket lawyers” arguing for or against its proper application. In my earlier article, I explained why the removed Chief Justice could not return to serve as a Justice of the Supreme Court. In this piece, I argue that an elected Assembly Member is, by law, better protected from removal than even the Chief Justice, who heads the Judiciary—the third arm of government. Article 146(1) clearly sets the grounds for removing a Justice of the superior courts or a tribunal chairman: stated misbehavior, incompetence, or […]

Illegal Miners Seize $168m Gold Mine Concession in Adansi, Ashanti Region

he future of what could become the second-largest mine in the Adansi enclave of the Ashanti Region is now in jeopardy after illegal miners forcibly seized over 200 acres of concession land. The site, secured by Mining and Construction Services for underground mining, has been overrun by groups allegedly led by the NDC Vice Chairman for Obuasi West, Alhaji Zamba. The illegal operators, equipped with excavators, are conducting unsustainable mining and digging trenches, leaving staff of the legal operators threatened and driven away. Managing Director Andy Amoah recounted how his team was forced to stop operations despite holding valid documentation.

Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers Issue 3-Day Ultimatum to Foreign Traders

BECE Not Credible, Ghana Christian High Dropped It Over a Decade Ago: Prof. Stephen Adei

Renowned educationist Prof. Stephen Adei has revealed that his school, Ghana Christian International High School, stopped using the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) more than a decade ago as an admission requirement because of credibility concerns. Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show during a discussion on the Hotline Documentary: Dark World of BECE, Prof. Adei said the decision was driven by widespread cheating and malpractice. “For 11 years, Ghana Christian International High School in Accra has not used BECE as an entrance requirement because we don’t trust them,” he stated. He noted that although WAEC continues to introduce measures such as monitoring teams, arrests, and cancellation of results, the efforts remain inadequate. According to him, corruption within the system has weakened enforcement. He argued that cheating in exams reflects the broader moral decay in Ghana, citing political bribery, illegal […]

The Member of Parliament for Atebubu-Amantin, Sanja Nanja, has assured residents of Akokoa and Amantin that swift steps are being taken to restore peace following a violent incident linked to a land dispute. The assurance follows an attack on Sunday, September 9, 2025, when masked individuals allegedly set fire to the house of the Krontihene of Akokoa using petrol. The suspected arson is believed to have stemmed from a long-standing disagreement over land in the area. In an interview with Adom News, Mr. Nanja condemned the act and urged residents, especially the youth, to remain calm and allow due process to take its course. “Peace is crucial for the development and progress of our communities.
