Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo, appointed as Ghana's Chief Justice on June 12, 2023, is a distinguished figure in the nation's judiciary.

Beyond her professional achievements, she shares her life with her husband, Francis Kofi Torkornoo, whose career in public service has significantly contributed to Ghana's law enforcement and public safety sectors.

Francis and Gertrude Torkornoo have been married since November 1989, marking over three decades of partnership. Together, they have four daughters: Seyiram, Matita, Selasi, and Edem as reported by Adom Online.

Their family has recently celebrated Selasi Esi Torkornoo's achievement of joining the Ghana Bar Association on October 20, 2023, during a ceremony at the Accra International Conference Centre.

Francis Kofi Torkornoo has built a reputable career in public administration, focusing on law enforcement and the prevention of organized crime.

In 2015, he was a key advocate for the Narcotics Control Commission Bill, collaborating with the Interior Ministry, Parliament members, and other stakeholders to enhance Ghana's control over illegal drugs.

This effort culminated in the bill's passage in 2019, marking a significant step toward mitigating narcotics-related challenges in the country.

His notable roles include serving as the Acting Director-General of the Narcotics Control Board (NACOB) in 2020 and later as its Chief Executive Officer under President Akufo-Addo's administration.
