The Eastern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwadwo Boateng Agyeman, has commended President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for choosing Justice Gertrude Torkonoo, to be Chief Justice, describing it as something he considers as the President’s best appointment so far.
According to him, despite the arguments by politicians, it can widely be agreed that President Akufo-Addo took careful consideration in selecting a worthy citizen to serve as Chief Justice.
“When you listen to the comments by all the people here, it suggests that this is the best appointment that the President has done. Despite all the arguments we might have on the appointment, we can all conclude that truly, the president took his time to appoint a true citizen of the land to serve as the Chief Justice,” he said.
Highlighting the importance of Chief Justice Torkonoo’s new role, he urged the CJ to work on restoring trust in the judicial system of Ghana.
“When my colleague was speaking, he mentioned that we should remember to pray for her. I think his statement implies that we should pray that God will endow her with wisdom just as he did for Solomon such that she can help restore trust in the judicial system of Ghana,” he added.
