“The former Attorney General and Minister of Justice [Betty Mould-Iddrisu] for the second time in less than a week protested strongly about the actions of some members of the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament [PAC]. Appearing before the committee for further engagements on the controversial ¢94 million CP judgment debt saga, Mould-Iddrisu accused a member of the committee, Isaac Asiamah of making derogatory remarks about her in an interview with XYZ News on Monday” (Ghanaweb July 18, 2012).
“Betty Mould-Iddrisu yesterday failed to prevent the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament from subjecting her to strict proof over matters relating to the €94 million judgment debt payment to Construction Pioneers (CP). Mrs. Mould-Iddrisu, virtually in tears, had nobody from the majority NDC to rescue her as the Majority side was nowhere to be found” Ghanaweb July 19, 2012).
Lady Attorney General
Betty Mould-Iddrisu
Preyed like a vulture on prey
Bloody beaky buttering mold
Ah! Flamboyant big-lip
For kissing Mr. Judgment Debt
So Betty paid Woyome
So Betty paid CP
So Betty paid DDT
So Betty paid NDC
So Betty paid BETTY
So Betty got her 10 percent
Betty is a pen-armed robber
Who whines about her rights
Who whines about her dignity
Bloody beaky Betty
Big-lipped Betty
The useless AG
Clueless law student
Who lost all state cases
Cases on behalf of the state
Cases on behalf of the masses
Cases against thievery NPP officials
Cases that would’ve restored our hope
Cases that would’ve restored our voices
The voices of the poor masses to justice
Betty wields her dripping pen
Like bloody talons of vultures
The pen-armed robber
Dripping with elitist entitlement
Wields her pen with grace
Like a soaring vulture
Talons drawn on prey
Deadly pen that kills
Pen that drips poverty
Impoverishes the masses
Marginalizes the masses
Ghettoizes the masses
Betty Mould
Put aside the whining
Put aside play-acting
Put aside the legalese
Put aside the law
You don’t know the law
Let you mouth fall
Tell us about judgment debts
Rise above your theatrics
Stop whining like a vulture
Ah! Betty opens your beak
Let the truth drip out
Speak the truth
Tell us about these
WHY YOU LOST ALL CASES
Cases on behalf of the state
Cases on behalf of the masses
Cases against thievery NPP officials
WHY YOU PAID JUDGMENT DEBTS
WHY YOU PAID NON-EXISTING DEBTS
Oh! Betty, the useless Attorney General
Tell us why judgment cases were won
Why you championed judgment cases
