The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has pledged to prosecute Attorney General Godfred Dame for allegedly attempting to coerce the third accused in the Ambulance trial case, Richard Jakpa, into implicating the first accused, Ato Forson.

During cross-examination, Jakpa disclosed that the Attorney General had been calling him at odd hours, pressuring him to provide testimony against the Minority Leader, Dr. Ato Forson. Forson, a former Deputy Finance Minister and the current Minority Leader is on trial for his purported involvement in the procurement of faulty ambulances for Ghana.

This revelation has stirred public discourse, with many calling for Mr. Dame’s resignation. Addressing journalists in Accra on Tuesday, May 28, the National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, condemned Mr. Dame’s actions, labelling them as perjury.
Asiedu Nketiah asserted that if President Akufo-Addo does not take action against the Attorney General, the NDC will ensure Mr. Dame is prosecuted should they win the 2024 general elections.
“Should President Akufo-Addo fail to prosecute him, a future NDC government will prosecute Godfred Dame for fabricating evidence,” he said.
