In accordance with Article 146(6) of the 1992 constitution, the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has began a process to remove Chief Justice Anim Yeboah if he is found guilty of a $5million bribery accusation.
This is in response to a petition filed by the Alliance for Social Equity and Public Accountability (ASEPA) which was demanding the removal of Chief Justice Anim Yeboah following a bribery allegation.
According to Asante Bediatuo, the Executive Secretary to the President, steps are underway to determine the removal or otherwise of the Chief Justice.
”I write to acknowledge receipt of your undated petition in respect of the above subject matter and to inform you that the President of the Republic has, in accordance with Article 146 (6) of the Constitution commenced the appropriate process subsequent to being petitioned for the removal of the Chief Justice”, the statement read.
A month ago ASEPA in a petition called on the President to activate provisions of Article 146 of Ghana’s 1992 Constitution to commence an impeachment process against the Chief Justice.
