Ambulance trial: 'A-G yɛ cobra, he must go' – Franklin Cudjoe pokes Dame

Franklin Cudjoe and Godfred Dame

Franklin Cudjoe, the Founding President and Chief Executive Officer of IMANI Centre for Policy and Education, has called for the dismissal of Attorney General Godfred Dame following the release of a controversial audio recording.

The audio, released by the leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), purportedly captures Dame discussing a strategy to influence testimony in a high-profile financial crime case.

The case in question involves former Deputy Finance Minister and current Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, and businessman Richard Jakpa.

Both are accused of causing a financial loss of €2.37 million to the state.

The leaked audio reportedly features Dame advising Jakpa to miss a court session to align with the Attorney General’s travel plans.

In a post on X, Franklin Cudjoe expressed his regret for previously defending the Attorney General and called for his resignation.

"And I am sorry. I was wrong about AG’s inability to do what he has been accused of. Nipa yɛ cobra. He must go," Cudjoe posted.

He further stated, "I was right about the AG. Ato Forson’s trial was political."
