The Alliance for Social Equity and Public Accountability (ASEPA) has added its voice to the growing demands for the resignation or dismissal of Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame. Apexnewsgh reports
This follows a leaked phone conversation in which Mr. Dame allegedly pressured Richard Jakpa, the third accused in the ongoing ambulance case, to implicate Minority Leader Cassiel Ato Forson.
ASEPA’s Executive Director, Mensah Thompson, condemned the Attorney General’s actions, stating that they undermine efforts to promote social equality, prevent human rights violations, and ensure justice. The organisation expressed disappointment at the silence of the Ghana Bar Association and the Presidency, urging them to take a stance on the matter.
Dr. Ato Forson, a former Deputy Finance Minister and current Minority Leader, is on trial for his alleged involvement in procuring faulty ambulances for Ghana. The case has sparked public debate, with many demanding Mr. Dame’s resignation over his conduct.
ASEPA emphasized that the Attorney General’s actions have damaged Ghana’s reputation, undermining the trust of international organisations that provide substantial support to civil society organisations (CSOs) and governmental agencies. “We are, therefore, adding our voice to the many voices calling on the AG to resign or be sacked by the president… The AG’s conduct has undermined the steady progress we have made in these areas of key interest to our development partners and the international community at large and therefore deserves nothing but utter condemnation from all, including the Bar Association and other stakeholders of the judiciary.”
The organisation warned that the silence of the Ghana Bar Association and the Presidency would further dent the country’s image. “It will be a further dent on the image of the country if the Bar Association never finds its often skewed ruthless voice in this ongoing spectacle; everyone is watching.”
