This Saturday on Newsfile, Samson Lardy Anyenini and his panel will be diving into three critical issues that are currently shaking Ghana’s democracy and security.
1. CJ Torkornoo Removal
The recent removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has sparked controversy and debate. President John Mahama dismissed her based on a petition of "stated misbehaviour" after a panel inquiry under Article 146(9) of the 1992 Constitution. However, critics argue that this move is more about politics than justice. Justice Torkornoo has challenged the process in court, claiming it was biased and flawed.
2. Gbiniyiri Feud
The land clashes in Gbiniyiri, Savannah Region, have escalated into one of Ghana’s deadliest internal conflicts in recent memory. With at least 31 lives lost and 48,000 people displaced across 12 communities, the situation is dire. Relief efforts are struggling, and traditional leaders are under pressure to find a peaceful resolution before the crisis worsens.
3. Akwatia By-Election
The recent by-election in Akwatia saw the National Democratic Congress (NDC) emerge victorious, flipping the seat previously held by the late NPP MP Ernest Kumi. Allegations of foul play have been raised by NPP supporters, leading to questions about the integrity of the electoral process.
