Mr. Maxwell Jumah was apprehended on Sunday, June 29, 2025, at his Kumasi residence, where he was allegedly celebrating his birthday.

Jumah, who served as Managing Director from 2016 to January 2025, is accused of selling company properties worth over $700,000 without authorization and incurring massive losses to the state through mismanagement of company receipts.

Investigations also revealed that Jumah allegedly purchased a Genesis G90 sedan valued at over $90,000 for a significantly lower price of $477.54. Furthermore, he is accused of retaining two company-owned cars in his personal custody after leaving office.

In a related incident, National Security officials visited Jumah’s residence on May 15, 2025, to retrieve one of the company cars he allegedly used unlawfully.

Following his arrest, Jumah was taken to the Ashanti Regional Police Command and later transferred to the Criminal Investigations Department Headquarters in Accra for further interrogation.

The case is currently under investigation, and Jumah’s arrest has sparked widespread interest, given his tenure under President Akufo-Addo’s administration.

Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo appeared before the the Parliament’s Appointments Committee on May 26th where she was vetted and was recommended for the position of Chief Justice by the Committee. She will take over from Justice Jones Dotse, a Supreme Court Judge of The Ghanaian Anatomy, who was serving as the acting Chief Justice post Justice Kwasi Anin-Yeboah’s retirement on 24th May, 2023.

Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo was approved by the Parliament of Ghana in December 2019 to be a Justice of the Supreme Court of Ghana. She performed majestically and has been able to rise high the rank to now be approved by Parliament once again after Ex- Chief Justice Kwasi Anin-Yeboah who was in the position from December 2019 to May 2023.

Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo is a product of Wesley Girls’ Senior High School and the University of Ghana, where she had her Bachelors Degree in Law and Sociology and The Ghana School of Law. She also had her Masters Degree in Law at the Golden Gate University School of Law. She has worked in the Judicial Fraternity for over twenty years and was also part of the seven member committee that heard the Election Petition by Ex-President John Dramani Mahama in 2020 against His Excellency President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the Electoral Commission of Ghana headed chaired by Jean Mensa.

The Global Freedom Board of AFRICAN VOICES INTERNATIONAL sees this new rank of Justice Gertrude Torkonoo as the Chief Justice as quintessential one towards the rehabilitation of Women in August public offices. Indeed, women can be solidified in the right direction once they work indefatigably and fight proactively. Let’s not settle for less. Let’s be Proactive. Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo serves as the third female Female Justice of the Ghanaian Anatomy after Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo who served from June 2017 to December 2019 and Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Wood who served from June 2007 to June 2017.
