Ambulance case: Resign now to save your reputation – Ansa-Asare to Godfred Dame

Kwaku Ansa-Asare, a former Director General of the Ghana School of Law, has called for the resignation of Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame due to his conduct in the ongoing ambulance purchase trial involving Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson. Ansa-Asare argues that Dame should step down on moral grounds to protect his hard-earned reputation. This call comes in the wake of serious allegations made by Richard Jakpa, the third accused in the case.During court proceedings, Jakpa claimed that Dame had approached him multiple times, seeking his assistance to implicate Dr. Ato Forson. This accusation has raised significant concerns about the integrity and impartiality of the Attorney General’s office. Ansa-Asare, who has long respected Dame’s integrity from his time as a student, believes that stepping down would be the honorable course of action to preserve public trust in the legal system.The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has also weighed in on the matter. The party has announced that they will soon provide evidence to support Jakpa’s claims, further intensifying the scrutiny on Dame’s conduct. This development is poised to add a new dimension to the ongoing trial and may impact the public perception of the Attorney General’s office.Speaking on Eyewitness News on Monday, May 27, Ansa-Asare reflected on his past interactions with Dame, expressing disappointment over the recent allegations. He emphasized the importance of maintaining high ethical standards in public office, especially for individuals holding positions of significant power and responsibility. Ansa-Asare’s call for Dame’s resignation underscores the gravity of the situation and the potential implications for the legal and political landscape in Ghana.In summary, the call for Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame’s resignation by Kwaku Ansa-Asare stems from serious allegations of misconduct in a high-profile trial. As the NDC prepares to present supporting evidence, the situation highlights the critical need for integrity and ethical conduct in public office to maintain public confidence in the justice system.
