Former Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame has reported to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to assist with investigations following a formal petition filed against him.
The petition was submitted by Richard Jakpa, Director of Special Operations at the National Security Secretariat.
Jakpa, who was a key figure in the ambulance procurement case involving Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, is calling for a probe into alleged misconduct and what he describes as attempted fabrication of evidence.
Kobby Amoah, a lawyer who was present to support Dame, told journalists in Accra on Monday October 6 that “We are here to support the former Attorney General, Godfred Dame… There is a presumption of innocence, so anyone who has been accused of doing something, unless the person has been proven guilty, the person is still innocent.
“So as lawyers, we are here to ensure that that is true…I think we are all aware why he’s here, about certain allegations that have been made against him flowing from Ato Forson trial… We are here to support him, and we are here to prove his innocence… I think so far it’s been so good. We are all following the regular processes.”
