It’s Wrong for NPP to Assume Fight to Protect CJ – Inusah Fuseini
Former Tamale Central MP Inusah Fuseini has criticised the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for what he sees as its undue politicisation of ongoing legal controversies involving Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile, the former NDC lawmaker argued that the NPP’s vocal defence of the Chief Justice risks painting her as politically aligned with the ruling party, which could damage public confidence in the judiciary’s independence.
“It is totally wrong for a political party to assume the fight to protect the Chief Justice,” he said, adding that the matter should remain a constitutional process, not one influenced by partisan interests.

Fuseini insisted that while it’s legitimate to scrutinise a Chief Justice’s conduct, political parties should not take centre stage in such matters. He referenced a previous petition filed against Justice Torkornoo in 2024, underscoring that such actions shouldn’t be automatically dismissed.
“What the NPP is doing currently is implanting in the minds of people that the current Chief Justice is sympathetic to the NPP,” he said. “They are doing Madam a disservice, and I simply do not understand why the NPP is so jumpy.”
He also criticised NPP-affiliated lawyers for challenging the president’s constitutional obligations in court, arguing that such moves further politicise the process.
“It is even becoming increasingly difficult to talk about the Chief Justice because she is the Chief Justice of the Republic of Ghana,” Fuseini remarked.
