The joint statement issued by the Bar Council of England and Wales and the Commonwealth Lawyers Association (CLA) calling for the “immediate and without delay” reinstatement of Ghana’s suspended Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo, is not only presumptuous but a blatant affront to the sovereignty of the Republic of Ghana. While international legal bodies are welcome to share opinions or offer support to member countries, it is unacceptable indeed, insulting for them to attempt to dictate terms to a sovereign nation and its elected leadership. Their language is arrogant, their tone is condescending, and their interference is unwarranted.
