The Chief Justice, Gertrude Araba Esaaba Torkornoo, is set to nominate a new judge to replace the judge currently hearing the case between the Special Prosecutor’s Office and former Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Dapaah.
This is because Justice Edward Twum, the substantive judge on the case is proceeding on leave. The presiding judge sat throughout the legal vacation.
When the case was called on today, November 8, 2023, the sitting judge summoned the parties to his chambers for a brief conference before adjourning the hearing until November 29.
