Ambulance case: Govt has no evidence of wrongdoing against Ato Forson – NDC

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) says the government has no evidence against the Minority leader in Parliament, Dr. Ato Forson in the ongoing ambulance case.

“Friends from the media, it is clear from the incontrovertible evidence we have adduced today, that the government has no evidence of wrongdoing against the Minority Leader but is only involved in fabrications to persecute him as retribution for his strong opposition to the economic mismanagement and general misrule of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government.

“These damning revelations call into question the integrity of the case of the prosecution in the ongoing Ambulance trial and the necessity for same. Godfred Dame has brought shame and disrepute to the honorable office of the Attorney-General with his criminal, devious, and vicious conduct.

“He is a danger to fairness and justice in our judicial system and represents the lowest point in the history of persons who have occupied the hallowed office of Attorney-General and Minister of Justice,” the National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nkatiah disclosed in a press conference.

He further stated, “While we have pointed out many times that GodfredDame epitomizes all that is inherently wrong in vesting both the office of the Attorney-General and the Minister of Justice in the same person, we believe that he has recklessly abused both offices and his continuous stay in office is no longer tenable.”

According to him, the primary responsibility of the Attorney-General is to be the voice of the rule of law, ensure the impartial enforcement of the law, and advise the President and government to take actions that conform to the law.

“More importantly, an Attorney-General must be a shining example and a leading light for the Bar, not a criminal-minded, crooked, devious, and vicious person who is preoccupied with witch-hunting and victimization, as has become the cup of tea of Godfred Dame.

“Mr. Dame has demonstrated time without number that he cannot prioritise the national interest over his party’s parochial and self-serving interest. He must therefore resign or be sacked by the President without delay,” the NDC chairman stated.
