Godfred Yeboah Dame, the former Attorney General and Minister for Justice, has criticized a recent press conference held by the current Attorney-General, Dr. Dominic Ayine.
According to him, the press conference staged by the Attorney General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, is a “knee jerk reaction” to genuine concerns raised by well-meaning Ghanaians regarding the attempt by the NDC Government to whitewash the crimes of individuals who served in the NDC government and to provide them with perpetual immunity from prosecution for offences committed against the Republic of Ghana.
“I deem the press conference hurriedly assembled by the Attorney-General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, as a knee jerk reaction to genuine concerns raised by well-meaning Ghanaians”.
“The posture adopted by the Hon. A-G threatens to undermine Ghana’s democratic and good governance structures. I am however reassured by the fact that Ghanaians are discerning enough to discover the illegitimate motives for the discontinuance of the cases in question”, Dame stated.
Dame further criticized the President, through his Attorney-General, for becoming the “clearing agent” to indemnify allies who have been put before the courts for the commission of crimes.
“The President, through his Attorney-General, has in a spectacular fashion, become the clearing agent to indemnify their allies who have duly been put before the courts for the commission of crimes”.
