A Deputy General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kofi Adams, says the posture of former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Martin Amidu, on cases the A-G's department is prosecuting in court puts his successor, Dr. Benjamin Kunbuor, in a "tight corner".
Kofi Adams believes the newly appointed Attorney General, Dr. Benjamin Kunbuor, has a lot to do to successfully prosecute government cases currently pending in court, especially the writ filed against the payment of judgement debt to NDC financier Mr. Alfred Woyome.
"Martin Amidu has put Dr. Kunbuor in a tight corner. Any man who occupies the seat as an Attorney General has been put in a tight corner and if Dr. Kunbuor does not deliver above what Martin Amidu did, people may think that he (Kunbuor) was brought in to do a cover up work".
Kofi Adams said this when contributing to a panel discussion on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem on Friday.
He praised Dr. Kunbuor's personality, saying "he is a cool and collected person who always discharges his duties effectively".
Kofi Adams repeated the mantra that some people who were not active when the party went into opposition have now found their way into the party, using judgement debt to amass wealth.
He cautioned the party to take the necessary steps to address the challenge of dealing with the issue of the judgement debts, otherwise it will be an albatross around the neck of the Mills administration, adding "we cannot continue playing this game because the game has gone beyond what we are thinking".
He stressed that, hitherto, internet fraud known in local parlance as ‘Sakawa’ was one of the illegal ways of making money, but now judgement debt payment is gradually becoming one area for amassing illegal wealth.
Contributing to the discussion, a member of the NPP Communication team, Titus Glover alleged that some people have turned themselves into "judgement debt contractors", conniving with officials at the Attorney General’s Department to dupe the state.
He called for thorough investigations into circumstances under which judgement debts are paid.
