Godfred Dame
National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has stated that a future NDC government will prosecute Attorney General Godfred Dame.
Aseidu Nketiah said the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, is not interested in justice but rather in jailing people.
Johnson Aseidu Nketiah accused the Attorney-General of professional misconduct regarding the ongoing ambulance purchase trial of the Minority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson and two others.
During a press briefing at the NDC headquarters on Tuesday, May 28, Mr. Nketiah claimed that Mr. Dame accused the third accused person in the case, Richard Jakpa, of defending Dr. Forson rather than himself during cross-examination by counsel for the Minority leader.
This comes after the third accused in the ambulance purchase trial, Richard Jakpa claimed that the Attorney-General previously approached him to help build a case against Minority Leader and former Deputy Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
But Speaking at a press conference, the National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Aseidu Nketiah expressed concern over what he views as a clear case of persecution against Dr. Forson, who has been a prominent figure in opposing the current government’s policies.
In light of this, Mr Nketiah said; “So Minister of Justice, you are not interested in justice; you are interested in just jailing somebody.”
He added that the Attorney-General, who should be focused on delivering justice to Ghanaians, has now become a “torchbearer of injustice” due to political interests.
