Attorney-General (AG) Godfred Dame walked out of the courtroom in high spirits after a proceeding in the ongoing ambulance case trial.
This comes after about five applications filed by the first accused person and the third accused, Dr. Ato Forson and businessman Richard Jakpa, respectively, were thrashed by the court.
The applications are an order of inquiry into the conduct of the Attorney-General following the allegations made by Richard Jakpa to the effect that the A-G has been calling him at odd hours; an order of mistrial with the aim of terminating the case; a stay of proceedings until the application is determined; and a motion asking the court to strike out charges against the businessman.
However, the court asserted that the GLC is the appropriate body to address the conduct of the Attorney General.
In reaction to this, the AG asked how he anticipated the outcome of the case, and he began to sing a hymn titled Head of Thy Church Triumphant by Charles Wesley, which was a sign of his victory over his opponent and a vindication from all accusations levelled against him.
“We joyfully adore Thee;
Till Thou appear, Thy members here
Shall sing like those in glory:
We lift our hearts and voices…..” he sang.
Adding that “the most important point in court today is that all the applications filed by the applicants have been dismissed in their entirety, all five applications have failed.
And I think in reaction to this , it clearly shows that a group of people in this country who ride on the manipulation of facts, distortion and deception of the public, only seeking to mislead and deceive the public, have been exposed today.“
