An X (formerly Twitter), KOJO DYNAMIC @AnnanPerry, believed to be a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has accused the Attorney General of Ghana, describing him as a lawyer of the incumbent government, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and not a servant of the country as his role demands of him.
“Godfred Dame doesn’t see himself as an Attorney General of Ghana but as a NPP lawyer. All his advice is political and senseless”.
His comments come after Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame recommended to President Akufo-Addo that Parliament hold off on sending the anti-LGBTQ+ bill for assent.
This suggestion was conveyed in a letter signed by Nana Bediatuo Asante, the President’s Secretary, on March 18.
The Attorney General cited two pending Supreme Court applications for interlocutory injunctions as the basis for this advice.
This move garnered several reactions, with many blasting the president for disrespecting the spirit of the law and undermining democracy.
The Minority and the Speaker of Parliament heavily criticised the President.
And you too all you know is to make useless, senseless and political submissions
The most important aspect of this is two fold
1.The messenger
2.The message
3.You respect the messenger you respect the message he is carrying
4.You don’t respect the messenger you equally disrespect the message he carries simpliciter
Reasonable persons respect the messenger of the message and therefore respect the message.
Soooo……..
