On the 8th April,2025, a concerned women’s group called upon the president John Dramani Mahama and the council of state to halt the removal of the Chief Justice, her ladyship Justice Gatrude Araba Esaaba Torkornoo.
They made it clear that they do not oppose democratic processes laid down by the 1992 Republican constitution, they explained that they refrain from questioning any citizen’s right to act on processes prescribed by the constitution.
They stated that such initiative might compel to the interest of the general public.

An address was made on the issue of women empowerment, that the country needs to focus on the growth and development of women in accordance with leadership duties and the role in the public sphere.
In a press conference on Monday, Miss Vivian Gassor, spokesperson for the Concerned Women’s Group said, “Even though we would have wished, as women, and indeed, as a country, to have gone pass this stage, we nonetheless believe that some good progress is being made, and still hope for an improvement.”
“This in our believe and estimation is not a mere wishful desire just for the sake of it, but the data is undisputed everywhere, that all societies that has been consciously inclusive, harnessing the talents and energies of all their citizens have witnessed development and progress at a faster pace.”

“We hereby call on all women and women groups to stand up to be counted in the face of this creeping cloud of darkness intended to engulf the progress that has been made so far” .
The conference was ended with a call to all women groups to help voice out their plea to the government, and also urged the council of state, as the special and unique class of persons who have worked hand in hand with the Chief Justice, have seen the gradual and continuing progress of her work, to step in and prevent this removal process, as not one that will unite Ghanaians.
