Speaking in an interview with JoyNews on April 22, 2025, Tuah-Yeboah expressed concern over the decision, particularly criticizing the Council of State’s advisory role in the matter.
He noted that while the President has the authority to act on such recommendations, there is no obligation to accept them, and in this case, he believes the advice should have been rejected.
He said, “But that’s the president’s decision. I see the advice of the Council of State as being very poisonous.”
He raised alarm over the potential consequences of the Council of State’s involvement, warning that such actions could upset the constitutional balance among the Executive, Judiciary, and Legislature.
According to him, any call to suspend the head of an independent arm of government must be based on substantial justification.
Tuah-Yeboah stressed the importance of safeguarding the integrity and independence of state institutions, especially the judiciary.
He argued that decisions of this nature should be approached with caution to avoid undermining the foundations of governance.
Expressing his dissatisfaction with the rationale provided for the suspension, he questioned the credibility and weight of the grounds presented publicly.
He maintained that if the reasons cited are the actual basis for the Chief Justice’s removal from office pending an inquiry, then the action is deeply troubling.
