BREAKING: Judicial Secretary resigns amid CJ suspension drama

News reaching Awake News indicates that Her Ladyship Cyra Pamela Koranteng has officially resigned from her post as Judicial Secretary.

The unexpected resignation adds to growing developments within Ghana’s judiciary following the recent suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Tokornoo by President John Mahama.

In response to the resignation, the Acting Chief Justice has moved swiftly to appoint the Deputy Judicial Secretary as the acting replacement, pending a final decision by the Judicial Council.

While no official reason has been given for Justice Koranteng’s departure, sources close to the judiciary suggest the move may be connected to the political and administrative ripples caused by the suspension of the Chief Justice.

The Judicial Service has yet to issue an official statement.

President Mahama’s decision to suspend CJ Tokornoo has sparked intense debate, with some praising it as a necessary measure to preserve the integrity of the judiciary, while others view it as a potential overreach into judicial independence.

As the Judicial Council prepares to deliberate on the appointment and broader implications, the legal community and the public alike are watching closely for further developments.
