Attorney General (AG) Godfred Dame has called on Ghanaians to dismiss the falsehoods and misrepresentations propagated by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the ongoing ambulance case.
During a town hall meeting with Ghanaian residents in the United Kingdom (UK), Mr. Dame addressed the collapse of the NDC’s allegations following the cross-examination of the third defendant in the ambulance case. He emphasized the necessity of rejecting the party’s deceptive tactics.
“We should resist all the lies, deceptions, and deceits of the NDC and indeed that is their stock-in-trade, and I can attest to that. We’ve been around, we were in Ghana and of course we have been around the UK, and my brother who lives in London called me anxiously the last time because he entered a barber shop and they were talking about the Attorney General. But they didn’t know that the Attorney General’s brother was next in line for his hair to be cut,” Dame recounted.
He continued, “Within a matter of two days when we started our cross-examination of the person who was spreading all those lies, you have seen how the matter is going. Their case has crumbled, as the President will say, ‘case na tɔ nsuom’ [to wit the case has fallen in water]. So, indeed we should resist the deception and lies of the NDC. They will come with all sorts of presentations about every major action or step being taken by this government and therefore we should be on the lookout.”
The controversy intensified on May 28 when the NDC released a 16-minute tape purportedly supporting the allegations made by the third defendant, Richard Jakpa, against the Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, in the ambulance case. The NDC asserted that the recording captured a conversation between Godfred Dame and Richard Jakpa, wherein Dame allegedly instructed Jakpa on what to say in court, particularly targeting Dr. Forson.
NDC Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah claimed the tape revealed a coaching session intended to manipulate Jakpa’s court testimony. Nketiah emphasized that the alleged coaching aimed to shape Jakpa’s statements to incriminate Dr. Forson.
The dispute began when Jakpa, the third defendant in the trial, alleged that he had been coerced into providing testimony detrimental to Dr. Forson. The NDC argued that this tape substantiates Jakpa’s claims and raises significant concerns about the Attorney General’s conduct in this high-profile case.
