Sammy Gyamfi, the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) national communications officer, has blasted Godfred Yeboah Dame, the attorney general, for how he handled the ambulance issue involving Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the minority leader.
Following the Court of Appeal’s Tuesday, July 30, decision to acquit and dismiss Dr. Forson, Mr. Gyamfi made statements that contradicted the trial court’s directive for him to offer his defense and upheld his appeal of no case.
Mr. Dame declared in reaction to the court’s decision that he intended to appeal it, claiming that it weakens the struggle against impunity and the rule of law.
Mr. Gyamfi accused the AG of putting politics ahead of justice during an interview on Citi FM.
He noted that it was “disgraceful” for the Attorney General to get a warning from the trial court to withdraw from the case he was pursuing, calling Mr. Dame the “worst Attorney General” in Ghanaian history.
“To further prove the malice of Godfred Dame in this whole matter is the fact that he didn’t have the decency and the patience to wait for the ruling of the Court of Appeal before issuing that ‘useless’ press statement. So at the time, he was describing the decision as inimical to the national interest, he didn’t even have the benefit of reasoning that went into the court of appeal’s decision.”
“So this is clearly a man who is hell-bent, he’s not interested in achieving justice, he’s just interested in oppressing, intimidating, harassing, victimising political opponents for cheap political goal and that’s why God has exposed him.
“He’s the worst Attorney General in the history of this country. The first Attorney General to be cautioned or advised by a trial court to stay away from a matter that he’s prosecuting, that’s how disgraceful Godfred Dame has been reduced to,” Sammy Gyamfi stated.
