Ghana President Removes Chief Justice Following Misconduct Report

Ghana's President, John Dramani Mahama, has fired the country's top judge, Gertrude Torkornoo.

This happened right away, as soon as the president announced it.

The reason for the firing comes from a report by a special group.

This report said the judge had done something wrong, calling it "misbehaviour."

The President followed the report's advice to remove the Chief Justice from her job.

This means the country now needs a new head of the court system.
