AG’s Saboteur Busted

By Livingstone Pay Charlie

Your authoritative and reliable Daily Post has been able to fish out of the Attorney-General’s Department one of the NPP moles who obviously has been sabotaging the Attorney-General in her quest to hold accountable officials of the erstwhile NPP government who have been accused of stealing state funds or wilfully causing financial loss to the state.

The mole is no less a person than Mr. Anthony Gyambiby, a Chief State Attorney, a man with many years of experience in the department. Like biblical Peter who denied Jesus Christ three times when he needed him most, Mr. Gyambiby chose to do same to his boss, Betty Mould-Iddrisu, after the Accra Fast Track High Court discharged Kwadwo Mpiani and Charles Wereko-Brobbey in the matter of wilfuly causing financial loss to the state in their organization of the Ghana@50 celebrations. While many were left aghast by the ruling and the Attorney-General was on the airwaves from Namibia, taking the court’s decision to the cleaners, the Chief State Attorney joined the defence team to celebrate the court’s ruling. “This is a well-reasoned ruling. It goes to confirm that the rule of law and democracy is deepening in Ghana,” he shamelessly said after Justice Marful-Sau concluded his ruling. This marks the very first time one of the NPP moles within the Attorney-General’s Department has been unmasked thanks to his inability to keep his mouth shut. Since she was appointed Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mrs. Betty Mould-Iddrissu has been like a sheep in a lion’s den. Surrounded by State Attorneys and prosecutors who are largely pro-NPP elements, she has had to struggle to prosecute court cases successfully. The double agony for her is the fact that the judiciary which she otherwise would be counting on to have justice delivered is also largely made up of pro-NPP judges. The result is that the Attorney-General’s Department has suffered some very humiliating defeats which often than not has seen NDC faithfuls go on a wild goose chase baying the Attorney-General’s blood while the main saboteurs, the pro-NPP judges, state attorneys and prosecutors laugh all the way to bank. Condemning Tuesday’s ruling of the Accra Fast Track High Court, Mould-Iddrisu said the court misdirected itself since she did not intend to put before it only the Ghana@50 report wholesale without leading evidence. She told Daily Post that her objective for taking Mpiani and Wereko-Brobbey to court was to obtain conviction and sentence, two ingredients of any criminal case which a Commission of Enquiry, though having the powers of a High Court, does not have. She vowed to resurrect the substance of the case against the two individuals who are alleged to have willfully caused financial loss to the state in the Ghana@50 celebrations, reminding all that Mpiani and Wereko-Brobbey were discharged but not acquitted by the High Court. Now that Mr. Gyambiby, the Chief State Attorney has marked himself out as a Fifth Columnist in the Attorney-General’s Department, it is up to the powers-that-be to act with dispatch to separate the chaff from the wheat at the state’s law department.
