A coalition of pro-family organisations and religious groups have confirmed their participation in their planned demonstration against the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkonoo.
The march scheduled for Tuesday, October 8, 2024, is to protest the delays in transmitting the bill to President Nana Akufo-Addo and hearing of two cases before the Supreme Court.
The Coalition of Muslim Organisations, Ghana (COMOG) and Advocates for Christ gave the confirmation on Asempa FM Ekosii Sen programme Monday.
The rep from COMOG, Prince Zakaria stated that, it is about time relevant authorities stopped paying lip service to the warming of pews.
“Rather, we must use our outfits to demonstrate our religious standing,” Mr Zakaria stated.
The Advocate for Christ also warned protestors against wearing political party colours for the exercise.
Highlighting the need for a sense of patriotism, the rep emphasised that the march has no political affiliation as the groups are fighting for the future of the nation.
The protesters will converge at Obra Spot at Kwame Nkrumah Circle and will march through TUC to the court complex and Supreme Court to present petitions to the Attorney General and the Chief Justice respectively.
The Apex Court declined to rule on applications seeking to injunct Parliament from transmitting the bill to President Akufo-Addo and promised an expedited hearing of the substantive case.
The cases of Amanda Odoi and that of Richard Dela Sky have been pending since July, with the Supreme Court yet to begin hearings.
Following concerns raised by a section of the public on the delayed process, particularly the advocates, the Judicial Service explained that the parties involved are yet to complete the necessary procedural work before hearings can proceed.
