My attention has been drawn to the fact that our work on the opinion of Ghanaians on whether they support the suspension of the CJ has made it to a petition filed by the CJ.
Public opinion will remain public opinion. It should not be the basis of removing anyone protected by the constitution from office. The law is the law and opinion only matters when it is voters decision but they will have their say but the law will have its way.
Global InfoAnalytics conducted two polls. The first was after the process to initiative her removal process commenced and we asked voters if they support the process to remove the Chief Justice. it was post event and therefore could not have influenced the decision to proceed.
The second poll was conducted after the suspension, asking voters if they support the suspension, again, after the event. How could these polls of public opinion find its way into a petition?
So, people don’t know the role of pollsters?
