A request by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) for the Chief Justice to remove Justice Edward Twum from the Cecilia Dapaah case has been rejected.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) had filed a petition, arguing that the High Court judge, Justice Edward Twum had shown bias against the OSP and wanted him removed from all cases involving Cecilia Dapaah.
But the Chief Justice, Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo, has refused the petition by the OSP, which sought the removal of Justice Edward Twum as presiding judge of the case involving the former Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Abena Dapaah.
At Wednesday’s hearing [Oct 25, 2023], Graphic Online's Emmanuel Ebo Hawkson reports that Justice Twum adjourned the case to await the decision of the Chief Justice on the petition, but shortly after the hearing, the OSP posted on social media that the Chief Justice had refused to accede to the petition.
“By a letter dated 25 October, 2023, the Judicial Secretary informed The Special Prosecutor that, the Chief Justice is unable to acceded to the Office of the Special Prosecutor’s (OSP) request for his Lordship Justice Edward Twum to be recused and removed from all cases involving the OSP pending before him, the notice by the OSP read.
The request by the OSP was grounded on the belief that Justice Edward Twum appears to be highly prejudiced against the OSP and the person of the Special Prosecutor.

@liars in NDC, your kind are the worse things that have happened to Ghana. Must we continue to nurture the already detrimental polarisation on our country? After all that we have suffered as a country due to evil politics, some of you are still so engrossed with partyism such that you will likely get suffocated by poor policies and bad governmennce but will still follow and hail those who are responsible for your misfortune. Eii I can't imagine the kind of brains some people have, especially if you are youthful!

When judgments don’t go your way the judge is corrupt. The word corrupt has lost its meaning in Ghana now. You throw corruption allegations without any evidence.
This Social Media OSP who is doing all his investigations with camera men following him and trying his cases in the media (court of public opinion) is the worse Ghana has ever seen. He still things he is defending Anas from his Chambers. He will one day end up in jail himself! He is working for the opposition NDC!
This corrupt CJ who was chosen by a corrupt president and approved by a corrupt parliament will always give out corrupt judgement. We place Ghana in the hands of the Almighty God. May He be the true judge who delivers true justice. We all saw this coming when the mother-serpent-of-all-corruption started empaneling the apex court with judges who openly supported this governing party.
