Yeboah Dame’s image is severely tarnished and battered due to the ambulance case; he must be dismissed immediately – AriseGhana

The clamor for the immediate resignation or dismissal of Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, shows no signs of abating, with the pressure group AriseGhana being the latest to join the chorus.

AriseGhana argues that the publication of an audio recording by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), purportedly featuring a conversation between Godfred Dame and Richard Jakpa, the third accused in the ambulance purchase trial, has significantly tarnished Dame’s reputation.

This release of the recording followed recent allegations by Mr. Jakpa, suggesting that the Attorney-General had encouraged him to provide false testimony against the Minority Leader in the ongoing ambulance case.

ARISEGHANA CALLS FOR DISHONOURABLE GODFRED DAME TO GIVE WAY FOR A NEW MINI

The alleged recording captures a conversation purportedly between Godfred Dame and Jakpa, where Dame is claimed to have coached Mr. Jakpa on the statements to make in court, specifically targeting Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
Following this, AriseGhana issued a press statement on Thursday, May 29, signed by Convenor Bernard Mornah, asserting that Dame’s continued tenure is unsustainable given the tarnishing of his image.
The group contends that as the Minister for Justice, Dame is obligated to uphold justice, but his alleged involvement in the conversation undermines this principle, rendering him unfit for office.
According to AriseGhana, the situation has transformed Dame from a Minister for Justice to a Minister for Injustice, making it untenable for him to retain his position.

“This conduct by the Attorney-General has been described variously as dishonest, unethical and criminal. Various legal brains and lawyers have publicly called for his resignation or dismissal if he fails to resign honourably.”

“AriseGhana is compelled to join the numerous calls for Mr Godfred Dame to be relieved of his duties as the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice now considering the fact that he has become a Minister for Injustice rather than a Minister for Justice. His conduct demonstrates clearly that he cannot do good to all manner of persons as enjoined by his Oath of Office,” an excerpt of their statement said.

Meanwhile, Deputy Attorney-General Alfred Tuah-Yeboah has questioned the authenticity of the audio tape released by the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Speaking with the media on the sidelines of the launch of Amnesty International’s Human Rights and Death Penalty Report 2023, Mr. Tuah-Yeboah dismissed the NDC’s claims while mounting a strong defense for his boss, Godfred Dame.
