The Public Sympathy You Are Seeking You Don't Deserve": Asiedu Nketia Drags Gertrude Torkonoo
Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has waded into suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo's press conference that she organised to address matters concerning her removal petition.
The suspended CJ raised concerns about thréât to her safety and alleged procedural flaws in the impeachment process during her press conference held at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Accra on Wednesday, June 25, 2025.
Well, the NDC Chairman, speaking in an interview with Joy News on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, said he believes Torkonoo's claims are unfounded and intended to garner sympathy from the public.
Asiedu Nketia said, "This argument is neither here nor there. The structure itself can torture you; I don't think she's making a strong point, in my view. She is just playing to the gallery. She is just trying to gain public sympathy, which she does not deserve, because this is a structure that she has used in the past. You were shouting in your courtroom that the law is the law.
"Have we changed the laws? We haven’t. Have we changed any of the judges she was operating with? We haven’t. Have we passed any legislation that has changed the procedures and processes in the judiciary she was heading? We haven’t changed anything. So, if that judiciary has been delivering or administering justice to ordinary citizens, why on earth should you think that she is a special human being who should be treated differently?" he added.
