New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for the Efutu Constituency, Alex Afenyo Markin, is asking whether Ghana's Chief Justice, Georgina Theodora Wood, is on leave prior to her retirement or not.
According to him, his constituents who are bothered about the status of the Chief Justice, have asked him to inquire on their behalf.
Mr. Markin in a letter addressed to the Judicial Secretary, Alex Opoku Acheampong, called for an expeditious response to his question.
In the letter, he asked “whether or not Her Ladyship the Chief Justice is on leave prior to her retirement; And if so when is she due for retirement.”
“Whether there is an acting Chief justice and if so whether he/she has taken any Oath of Office as Chief Justice of the Republic,” the letter questioned.
Georgina Wood assumed office as the Chief Justice in July 2007.
Below is the letter from Afenyo Markin:
Status of the Office of the Chief Justice of the Republic of Ghana
I have received several letters from constituents who are curious to know the status of the incumbent chief justice of our dear country.
Specifically, the following questions have been asked for specific answers.
1.Whether or not Her Ladyship the Chief Justice is on leave prior to her retirement; And if so when is she due for retirement.
2. Whether if her retirement date occurs anytime soon there is a possibility that Her Ladyship will avail herself of Article 145 (4) of the 1992 Constitution.
3. Whether there is an acting Chief justice and if so whether he/she has taken any Oath of Office as Chief Justice of the Republic.
4. How many of the Supreme Court Judges including her ladyship the Chief Justice are due for retirement either this year or 2017.
Your expeditious response to the above shall be appreciated since same shall satisfy the curiousity of my concerned constitutents and the general public as well as put to rest rumours on the subject under reference.
