Lawyer Criticizes Attorney General at Ghana Bar Conference

Edudzi Tameklo, legal counsel for Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has declared that Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame is unfit to address the upcoming Ghana Bar Association Conference. Tameklo firmly supports Forson's innocence and accuses the AG of persecuting him, particularly highlighting how Forson's opposition to the government's Electronic Levy Bill in 2019 has made him a target. He recounted that the Economic and Organised Crime Office initially suggested there was no wrongdoing, reinforcing his belief in Forson's innocence. Tameklo further criticized the AG's professional conduct, citing a recent incident where the AG allegedly instructed a witness to falsify a medical report for court. Following a recent court ruling that acquitted Forson and his co-defendant, the AG condemned the decision, which Tameklo believes undermines the AG's credibility. Tameklo's comments raise critical questions about the integrity of judicial proceedings and the role of the Attorney General in Ghana.
