“The AG would not resign, he remains resolute” -NPP rejects calls for Dame’s resignation

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has firmly dismissed demands for Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, to resign.

These calls, notably from the National Democratic Congress (NDC), follow the release of audio evidence purportedly revealing a conversation between Mr Dame and Richard Jakpa, the third accused in the ongoing ambulance procurement case, allegedly to implicate Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.

During a press conference in Accra on Tuesday, the NPP declared that Godfred Dame would continue his duties with intelligence and determination.

Frank Davies, Chairman of the NPP’s Legal Committee, emphasized the baseless nature of the resignation demands.

“We are clear in our minds that the calls for the resignation of the Attorney General are misplaced and unwarranted. This would not put any spokes in the prosecution of Cassiel Ato Forson and his associates,” Davies stated. He added, “Coming from the NDC, the call for the Attorney General to resign is very rich. The AG would not resign and would continue to remain witty, resolute, and focused in the delivery of his work.”
