The Chief Justice, Georgina Theodora Wood, has announced that she’s to step down from her position in the middle of next year.
Georgina turns 70 in June, the age for the mandatory retirement from the bench in Ghana, as enshrined in the 1992 constitution.
The John Agyekum Kuffour appointee, who was named head of the court in 2007, told colleagues during the special church service to open the 59th Legal Year that as her time draws near, she hopes her colleagues remember her in prayers.
“Although its not ended, eight months more, this is rather when I need his grace and support more. I thank each one of you my colleagues on the Supreme Court who have faithfully worshipped with me year after year” she told the service.
“I thank you all for your continuing prayer and support. I know thousands of people – that one is not lost on me… thousands of people have borne me before the Lord and this is the reason why the Lord, in answer to their prayer, sustained me and kept me till this day.”
Georgina Wood was appointed Chief Justice on the 15th of June, 2007, and would step down in May of 2017.
