Former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has denied allegations of ethical misconduct in the controversial ambulance procurement case involving current Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson.
The accusations were leveled against him by his successor, Attorney General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, during a press conference on Wednesday, February 12, 2025.
Dr. Ayine alleged that Dame had engaged in unethical and unprofessional behaviour in his handling of the prosecution of the case, which involves the procurement of 200 ambulances under the previous John Mahama administration.
The case had been a subject of intense legal and political debate, with the prosecution alleging financial mismanagement and irregularities in the awarding of the contract.
However, addressing the press on Friday, February 14, Dame rejected the accusations, describing them as disingenuous.
He further criticised Dr. Ayine, pointing out what he called the irony of the accusations.
“Dr. Ayine’s unfounded allegations insinuating unethical conduct on my part in the ambulance case is highly disingenuous and rather unfortunately, recaps the series of falsehoods peddled by foot soldiers of the NDC and other uninformed members of society
“I must say that I find it quite ironical for Dr. Ayine who is a subject of disciplinary proceedings for professional misconduct still pending at the General Legal Council to accuse me of unethical conduct.”
