Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame is being fiercely defended by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), which maintains that despite allegations made by the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dame’s character is untarnished.
Following a press conference hosted by the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the New Patriotic Party (NPP) reacted, accusing Attorney General Godfred Dame of trying to sway Richard Jakpa’s testimony. Jakpa is the third accused in the trial of Minority Leader Cassiel Ato Forson.
But during Tuesday, May 28, at the press conference, the NPP charged that the NDC was trying to absolve Ato Forson of responsibility.
The NPP’s national organizer, Henry Nana Boakye, also known as Nana B, stated during the press conference that Dame’s credibility is still unblemished.
“Let me again put on record, that in the 4th Republic, the current Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has been one of the most successful both in and out of court.”
“As remarkably noted by the president at the last State of the nation’s address, he had successfully saved the state over GHC10 trillion, and his verve in protecting public resources is shown by his commitment to the prosecution of public officials whose acts resulted in financial loss. This is beside the other several infrastructure and logistics improvements to the offices of the Attorney General and Ministry of Justice, including the almost completed Law House.”
“We are clear in our minds that the calls for the resignation of the Attorney General is misplaced, unwarranted and this would not put any spokesmen in the prosecution of Cassiel Ato Forson and his associates,” Nana B added.
“The AG would not resign and would continue to remain witty, resolute and focused in the delivery of his work.”
