Chief Justice appointee, Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, has admonished young girls to be confident in themselves.

Speaking during her vetting, she challenged girls to eschew self-doubt and dare to sit at the table of men.

The Chief Justice nominee was vetted on May 26, 2023, by the appointments committee of Parliament.

Responding to a question posed by the Deputy Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, on what advise she has for women who are in self doubt about their prospects she said: "I would ask them to be confident in themselves, to work on themselves, to work in areas that create the self doubt, to choose not to look down on themselves.

To work on the areas that create the self doubt, to choose not to look down on themselves, choose to appreciate that they are valued, they are persons of value and that they are entitled to sit at the table. Every girl is entitled to sit with her brother at the table," she stated.

If approved by the House, she would be the 15th Chief Justice appointed since Ghana's Independence and the third female Chief Justice since the history of Ghana.
