Calls for the resignation of Godfred Yeboah Dame, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, have been rejected by the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

At a Tuesday press conference in Accra, the NPP declared that the AG will keep carrying out his responsibilities with intelligence and tenacity.

This statement is in response to demands made by different groups, most notably the National Democratic Congress (NDC), following the release of audio evidence that purportedly showed the Attorney General discussing the ongoing ambulance case with Richard Jakpa, the third accused, in order to implicate Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.

Following that, the opposition party demanded Godfred Dame’s resignation over his handling of the ambulance situation.

“We are clear in our minds that the calls for the resignation of the Attorney General is misplaced, unwarranted and this would not put any spokes in the prosecution of Cassiel Ato Forson and his associates,” said Frank Davies, the Chairman of the NPP’s Legal Committee, during the news conference.

“Also, 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.”
