Former boss of the defunct Ghana@50 project Dr. Charles Wereko Brobby is calling on President John Mahama to immediately sack Attorney General Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong. According to him, the new AG cannot serve the public interest in the state’s legal tussle with businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome. Tony Lithur, the Attorney General’s partner at her private firm, has been recommended to the Ghana Bar Association (GBA) for sanctioning after the firm led a foreign company to make false claims in a Ghanaian court. Dr. Wereko Brobby, who is also a leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), stated that Mrs. Brew Appiah-Oppong will bring to naught the work of the Sole Commissioner on Judgment Debts, whose findings will ultimately be reviewed by her office. He explained, “the lady was a senior member of Lithur’s firm, she is now the Attorney General and she has to represent the State. It is not possible. There is guilt by association. I am not talking about her as an individual; I am not impugning her integrity but transparency requires that such things must be avoided at all costs.” “If she seeks to be a Minister, the President can by all means make her a Minister for something else but not jump from one side where she is representing the interest of companies associated with Woyome and has become the principal state defender in this matter,” he added. He further mentioned that no matter how principled Marietta Brew Oppong-Appiah is, she will not serve the interests of the state; “she should not be the Attorney General,” he declared. Dr. Wereko Brobby also advised President Mahama to search for a new counsel to defend him in the Election Petition currently before the Supreme Court since the AG has proven incapable of such a feat. “The principal character, Tony Lithur, is the one who has been sanctioned by the Supreme Court…that a professional association should sanction him. I think it behooves on the president to make sure that he distances himself because by allowing him to continue to be his personal lawyer, it’s almost an admission that you agree that a crook…an unprofessional lawyer handles the affairs of the President.”
