President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has commenced processes to remove Chief Justice Kwasi Anin Yeboah from office, following allegations that he was bribed with $5 million to influence the outcome of a court case.
The development comes after the Executive Director of Alliance for Social Equity and Public Accountability (ASEPA), Mensah Thompson, petitioned president Akufo-Addo to invoke Article 146 (6) of the constitution for the removal of Anin Yeboah.
In a response to ASEPA, Executive Secretay to the president, Nana Bediatuo Asante stated “…the president of the Republic, in accordance Article 146 (6) of the constitution, commenced the appropriate processes subsequent to being petitioned for the removal of the Chief Justice.”
