The National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has criticized Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame for his handling of the ambulance case involving Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
Mr Gyamfi’s remarks follow the Court of Appeal’s decision to acquit and discharge Dr Forson on Tuesday, July 30, overturning the trial court’s order for him to present his defence and upholding his appeal of no case.
In response to the court’s ruling, Mr. Dame announced his intention to challenge the verdict, asserting that it undermines the fight against impunity and the rule of law.
In an interview on Citi FM, Mr Gyamfi accused the AG of prioritizing political agenda over justice.
He said Mr. Dame is the “worst Attorney General” in Ghana’s history, emphasizing that it was “disgraceful” for the Attorney General to be cautioned by the trial court to stay away from the case he was prosecuting.
“To further prove the malice of Godfred Dame in this whole matter is the fact that he didn’t have the decency and the patience to wait for the ruling of the Court of Appeal before issuing that ‘useless’ press statement. So at the time, he was describing the decision as inimical to the national interest, he didn’t even have the benefit of reasoning that went into the court of appeal’s decision.”
“So this is clearly a man who is hell-bent, he’s not interested in achieving justice, he’s just interested in oppressing, intimidating, harassing, victimising political opponents for cheap political goal and that’s why God has exposed him.
“He’s the worst Attorney General in the history of this country. The first Attorney General to be cautioned or advised by a trial court to stay away from a matter that he’s prosecuting, that’s how disgraceful Godfred Dame has been reduced to,” he said.
