Watch how Ghana’s Chief Justice and her husband steal the spotlight at the SONA
Ghana’s Chief Justice, Mrs. Gertrude Torkornoo, captivated attention alongside her husband, Mr. Francis Torkornoo, a distinguished pharmacist, as they made a striking appearance at the State of the Nation Address (SONA) earlier today at Parliament House.
The couple’s arrival was marked by an aura of elegance and prominence, with Mrs. Torkornoo showcasing the dignity and grace befitting her position as the head of Ghana’s judiciary. Accompanying her was Mr. Torkornoo, whose reputation as a respected pharmacist further highlighted the power couple’s stature.
Mrs. Torkornoo, the second woman to serve as Ghana’s Chief Justice, has been an inspiring figure in the country’s judiciary. Known for her dedication to justice and reform, she has been instrumental in shaping policies that strengthen Ghana’s legal framework. Her presence at the SONA was a testament to the judiciary’s pivotal role in the nation’s governance.
Meanwhile, Mr. Francis Torkornoo, a celebrated pharmacist, has also made significant contributions in his field. His quiet support and partnership with the Chief Justice underscore the important role of family in enabling public service leaders to excel in their demanding roles.
Their joint appearance at the SONA not only underscored the unity and mutual respect they share but also highlighted the collaborative spirit that is essential for leaders in public service and their families. Observers commended the couple for their humility and the inspiration they provide to Ghanaians across professions.
The State of the Nation Address, delivered by outgoing President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, served as a platform to reflect on the nation’s progress, challenges, and aspirations. The presence of distinguished personalities like the Torkornoos added an extra layer of significance to the occasion.
