The opposition New Patriotic Party has announced Monday, MAY 5, 2025, as their date for the Save the Judiciary demonstration aimed at protesting against the petition seeking the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo.
President John Dramani Mahama on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo after setting up a committee to probe into allegations against her.
Denis Miracles Aboagye, Former Communication Director for Dr. Bawumia campaign team in the 2024 election while speaking about this upcoming demonstration said this protest historical significance hence the need for every Ghanaian to join them.
Miracles Aboagye in a statement posted on his Facebook page today, May 3, 2025 drew parallels between the infamous 1982 murders of three judges incident carried out by the PNDC government and today’s political climate arguing that judicial intimidation remains a pressing concern.
“The biggest attack against our Judiciary in this country’s history happened in 1982 under the PNDC, most of the operators then in that government are still alive today operating under this confused NDC government”.
He said, “one early morning in 1982, under the PNDC government, a bloody attack was launched on our Judiciary and 3 judges were kidnapped and murdered including a nursing mother, Justice Cecilia koranteng who wasn’t spared in that gruesome act.”
” We would walk on Monday to place it on record that, when the Judiciary was under attack through a premeditated plan which is on public record, we spoke up,” he added.
