The Leader and Chairperson of the People’s National Party (PNP), Janet Nabla, has alleged that some powerful individuals in government are frustrating her crusade against the removal of the suspended Chief Justice from office.
The PNP leader, in a disappointed tone, made the remarks following her inability to meet Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, after she spent close to two hours waiting for her turn to get access on Friday July 25.
According to Janet Nabla, she received a call from the Asantehene’s office which assured her of an appointment to meet the King after the party on July 1, 2025, petitioned Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to intervene in the removal of the suspended Chief Justice, Justice Araba Getrude Torkornoo, from office.
After the long wait, she was told there was a miscommunication in her appointment and that the Asantehene was due for an emergency meeting after several engagements with various personalities and groups on Friday.
Nabla became furious following the development and voiced out her frustration at the Manhyia Palace, ignoring executives who accompanied her to the place as they tried to calm her down.
Nabla also interpreted a visit by the Director-General of the Ghana Prisons Service, Mrs. Patience Baffoe-Bonnie — who is the wife of the acting Chief Justice — which coincided with hers, to mean that Mrs. Baffoe-Bonnie was allowed to meet the Asantehene while she was not given the chance to do so.
She accused the presidency and other powerful individuals in the government of frustrating every step of her way in her crusade against the removal of the suspended Chief Justice.
Nabla said she will not honour a future appointment to the Manhyia Palace on the matter following the development on Friday.
