The Member of Parliament for Manhyia South Constituency in the Ashanti Region, Mr. Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, has called for strict adherence to due process and the rule of law amid ongoing discussions surrounding a potential impeachment or removal process targeting the suspended Chief Justice.

In a statement issued on the matter, Mr. Baffour Awuah stressed the need for transparency, fairness, and respect for legal procedures in any such undertaking.

He emphasised that the rights of the suspended Chief Justice must be fully protected throughout the process, cautioning against political expediency or public pressure compromising the integrity of legal institutions.

“Regardless of the personalities involved, we must uphold the principles of justice and fairness,” the MP stated.

“Due process is not a luxury—it is a constitutional requirement, especially in matters as sensitive and consequential as this.”

While the specifics of the case remain unclear and further clarification is expected, the Suame legislator’s remarks serve as a timely reminder of the constitutional safeguards designed to protect both the accused and the integrity of the Judiciary.

Mr. Baffour Awuah urged all stakeholders—parliamentarians, the media, and the public—to allow the legal processes to unfold objectively and without interference, reaffirming his commitment to upholding the democratic tenets of Ghana’s governance system
