The Director of Legal Affairs for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, has criticized former Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame, accusing him of lacking integrity in his handling of the legal case involving then Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.

In a statement issued on Thursday, Mr. Tameklo responded to recent comments attributed to Mr. Dame, who reportedly called on “good men” to speak up amid controversy surrounding the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.

“Life indeed is a school. This young man was hell-bent on securing a conviction against Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, now Minister of Finance, and acted without a modicum of conscience,” Mr. Tameklo said. “Good men, please talk now. I just remembered that Godfred is not a good example.”

The remarks reference the public and political debate surrounding the suspension of Chief Justice Torkornoo after President John Dramani Mahama, in consultation with the Council of State, established a prima facie case against her.

Mr. Tameklo also alluded to the trial of Dr. Ato Forson over alleged financial loss to the state in the procurement of ambulances during his tenure as Deputy Finance Minister. The NDC has consistently maintained that the case against Dr. Ato Forson was politically motivated.
