Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has voiced concern over the growing prevalence of wealth accumulation in Ghanaian society, particularly within the business community.
She highlighted that the relentless pursuit of wealth and possessions has fostered a culture of greed among the populace.
“I don’t understand the level of cravings and the level of monies that people need. The figures are too high and too weird.
“Those close to me, are they buying islands or something. What are they doing? What do they need all of this for?” she asked.
These remarks were delivered by Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo at the Full Gospel Business Men Fellowship conference themed ‘Integrity of a Business Person.’
During her speech, the Chief Justice acknowledged the challenges of maintaining integrity but emphasized that it is achievable through a commitment to Christian values.
Additionally, Emmanuel Mahama, President of the Full Gospel Business Men Fellowship, lamented the detrimental effects of corruption on economies. He urged stakeholders to join forces in combating this scourge.
