The public is entitled to know the reasons Ms. Justice Akuffo assigned for her resignation to enable us to determine what the government had done to warrant the unprecedented step of a former Chief Justice resigning from the Council of State in the history of the 1992 Constitution. The Government also owes the people of Ghana an explanation for the delay in disclosing and informing the public of the tendering of her resignation.

The timing of the IEA facilitation process for the constitutional review process and the intervention of the CRC Chairman, Mr. Kwasi Prempeh, who is also the Executive Director of CDD-Ghana who held public office in the Akufo-Addo government when the Council of State has come under partisan criticism within the past two months in the execution of its mandate under Article 146(6) of the Constitution for the removal of Chief Justices gives one the impression that the IEA forum is being used for ideological partisan politics once again.
