Sophia Akuffo, former Chief Justice and now a member of the Council of State, has defended her right to be part of the advisory body, emphasising her qualifications and independence.
The former Chief Justice is part of 31 members of the Council of State who have Edward Doe Adjaho as their chairman.
Speaking to journalists after their swearing in by the President at the Jubilee House in Accra on Tuesday February 18, Akuffo noted that “I am a former Chief Justice. Am I not? Do I or do I not qualify?”
“I am there in my own right simply as a former Chief Justice. I am not even there representing the Judicial Service.”
