Former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has dismissed allegations of ethical misconduct in the controversial ambulance procurement case involving current Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
The accusations were made by his successor, Attorney General Dr. Dominic Ayine, during a press conference on Wednesday, February 12, 2025. Dr. Ayine alleged that Mr. Dame engaged in unethical and unprofessional conduct in prosecuting the case, which concerns the procurement of 200 ambulances under the John Mahama administration.
However, addressing the media on Friday, February 14, Mr. Dame rejected the claims, describing them as baseless and misleading.
“Dr. Ayine’s unfounded allegations insinuating unethical conduct on my part in the ambulance case are highly disingenuous. Unfortunately, they echo the falsehoods peddled by NDC foot soldiers and uninformed members of society,” he stated.
He also questioned the credibility of the accusations, pointing out what he described as irony in the situation.
“I find it quite ironic that Dr. Ayine, who is himself facing disciplinary proceedings for professional misconduct at the General Legal Council, would accuse me of unethical behavior,” he added.
Mr. Dame maintained that his handling of the case was in line with due process and legal standards, insisting that political interests should not be allowed to interfere with the administration of justice.
