The resignation of former Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo from Ghana’s Council of State occurred with minimal public disclosure, prompting questions about democratic accountability. News of her departure surfaced months later through media reports, later confirmed by a presidential spokesperson. Critics question the discrepancy between the public announcement of her appointment and the private handling of her resignation. The Council of State, a taxpayer-funded body advising the President, should operate with transparency, particularly regarding vacancies that could impact its advisory capacity. The delayed process of replacing Justice Akuffo, revealed after the initial reports, further underscores these concerns. Lack of disclosure hinders public awareness of the Council’s functionality and potential limitations in presidential advice. The situation highlights a need for greater transparency in the appointment and resignation processes of constitutional bodies.
