Political Vendetta Alleged in Prosecution of Minority Leader… NDC Calls for Attorney-General’s Resignation

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called for the immediate resignation or dismissal of Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame following the release of a damning audio recording that implicates him in professional misconduct and criminal behavior. The recording, which was played during a press conference by the NDC National Chairman, Hon. Johnson Asiedu Nketia, reveals conversations between Mr. Dame and a key witness in the ongoing Ambulance trial, Richard Jakpa.

In the recording, Mr. Dame is heard urging Mr. Jakpa to falsify his testimony in order to secure a conviction against the Minority Leader, Dr. Ato Forson. The NDC has described Mr. Dame’s actions as unethical, devious, and criminal, and has called for his immediate prosecution for violations of Ghanaian law.

The NDC has also demanded the commencement of disciplinary proceedings by the General Legal Council against Mr. Dame, as well as a publicly-televised Parliamentary inquiry into the matter. The party has emphasized that Mr. Dame’s conduct has brought shame and disrepute to the office of the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, and that he is unfit to hold such a position.

The NDC has stated that if President Akufo-Addo fails to take action against Mr. Dame, a future NDC government will prosecute him for his criminal behavior. The party has called on all well-meaning Ghanaians to support their demands for accountability and justice in this matter.

The revelations from the audio recording have raised serious questions about the integrity of the ongoing Ambulance trial and the motives behind the prosecution of Dr. Ato Forson. The NDC has reiterated that the government has no evidence of wrongdoing against the Minority Leader, and that Mr. Dame’s actions are driven by political vendetta rather than a pursuit of justice.

In conclusion, the NDC has called for swift and decisive action to hold Mr. Dame accountable for his actions, and to ensure that justice is served in the Ambulance trial. The party has emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law and the integrity of Ghana’s judicial system in the face of such egregious misconduct.
