The Coalition of Political Parties today protested in Accra against the President’s attempt to remove the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo.
According to them, the demonstration is to express widespread discontent with the President’s actions, seen as an assault on democracy and the judiciary.
After marching through the principal streets of Accra, the protesters presented petitions to the Judiciary, Parliament and the Presidency.
The lead petitioner, Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin while presenting the petition, said the coalition was unhappy with President Mahama’s action aimed at removing the Chief Justice.
Additionally, he said, the language of the petition is respectful in expressing their view, and he was optimistic that they would receive the appropriate response.
They added that following the successful demonstration, they will outline their next steps in the coming days.
Receiving the petition on behalf of the Chief of Staff, Stan Dogbe said, the successful protest is a testament of the democratic tenets the President wants to instill in the Ghanaians.
He added that “If it were the case like this over the past 8 years, I’m sure the retaliatory politics you mention wouldn’t have occurred. Your reference to retaliatory politics is an admission that the 8 years under Akufo-Addo and Bawumia were not the best.”
He said whatever action that President Mahama is currently taking is in line with the 1992 constitution of Ghana and assured them of handing over the petition to Chief of Staff.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
