According to the state-owned newspaper, Her Ladyship’s name would be submitted for approval by Parliament as the next Chief Justice.&nbsp;

It is believed that&nbsp;the Council of State has already given the green light for Justice Torkornoo’s appointment and the President would soon forward her name to Parliament for approval, in accordance with Article 144(1) of the 1992 Constitution.

When approved by Parliament, Justice Torkornoo will replace the current Chief Justice, Kwasi Anin Yeboah.

Justice Anin Yeboah retires as Chief Justice on May 24, 2023, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 70 for justices of the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.
