National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has reiterated the party’s backing for Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame amidst recent controversies.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) released an alleged phone conversation on May 28, implicating Dame in discussions related to the ambulance procurement case.
In the leaked conversation, Richard Jakpa, the third accused in the case, discusses matters involving the first accused, meetings at a Supreme Court Justice’s residence, and concerns regarding the ambulance contract.
Responding to the NDC’s press conference, Nana Boakye, also known as Nana B, emphasized that Dame was continuing his duties as Attorney-General. He asserted that issues concerning financial losses related to the ambulance procurement would be addressed in court, not in the media.
“He won’t resign today or tomorrow, he will continue in his role as is fit as an Attorney-General.
“Your doctored, fake, cut-and-paste tape is headed nowhere. He will continue his job, we would meet in court to discuss the case not in public,” he stressed.
Following NDC’s release of the alleged tape, Nana B addressed the matter, echoing the sentiments expressed by Frank Davies, the NPP’s head of legal affairs.
Davies dismissed the tape’s credibility and affirmed that Godfred Yeboah Dame remained in his position as Attorney-General.
He emphasized that the NDC’s actions would not hinder the prosecution of Ato Forson, the Minority Leader, who is the primary accused in the case.
