- Torkornoo was also removed as a Supreme Court judge after petitions for her sacking were assessed by an investigative committee
- The committee found that Torkornoo had engaged in the unlawful expenditure of public funds
The Director-General of the Road Safety Authority, Abraham Amaliba, claims former Chief Justice Getrude Torkornoo tried to negotiate her retirement with full entitlements before her sacking.
According to Amaliba, this effort was thwarted when she unexpectedly took her case to court.

Speaking on TV3, Amaliba said she worked through two eminent persons in this country to help her.
“They came to plead that she should be allowed to retire with all her entitlements… somehow, when the discussion was ongoing, she went to court to fight her removal process.”
Amaliba was responding to a suggestion that Torkornoo should have been allowed to retire gracefully.
Torkornoo herself said she would not resign during her legal troubles.
Amaliba countered that Torkornoo herself had scuttled the initiative she began by subsequently filing a court action to fight her removal process.
President John Mahama sacked Torkornoo from office on September 1 after he received the report of the committee looking into petitions against her.
She has also been removed from the Supreme Court.
