Uganda: Court clears way for Besigye treason trial

The Law 101 – Supreme Court upholds constitutionality in removal of CJ Torkornoo

I have just finished reading the Supreme Court of Ghana’s 84-page landmark judgment affirming the constitutionality of the procedure used in the removal of former Chief Justice Gertrude Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo.

This decision not only validates the removal process but also sets a precedent for how future constitutional disputes over judicial independence and executive authority will be resolved.
