The former Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame has rejected accusations of unethical conduct made by the current Attorney General, Dr. Dominic Ayine citing the Ambulance Trial – Republic vrs. Cassiel Ato Forson.
The former AG labeled the allegations unfounded and highly disingenuous, describing them as a reiteration of “falsehoods” propagated by NDC members and others.
“Dr. Ayine’s unfounded allegation insinuating unethical conduct on my part in the conduct of the Ambulance Trial – Republic vrs. Cassiel Ato Forson is highly disingenuous and rather unfortunately, recaps the series of falsehoods persistently published by foot soldiers of the NDC and other uninformed members of society,” the former AG stated.
The former AG emphasized that this case remains unresolved. “I must say that I find it quite ironical for Dr. Ayine, who is the subject of disciplinary proceedings for professional misconduct still pending at the General Legal Council, filed by the Hon. former Chief Justice himself, to accuse me of unethical conduct,” the former AG added.
He further questioned Dr. Ayine’s fitness for office, arguing that the General Legal Council should have concluded its investigation into the professional misconduct allegations before Parliament’s review of his suitability for the Attorney-General position.
“In the interest of the nation, the case of professional misconduct pending against Dr. Ayine at the General Legal Council, should have been determined before the parliamentary assessment of his suitability or otherwise for the high office of the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice of our dear Republic,” he asserted.
