THE NATIONAL Democratic Congress (NDC) has stated that the witness has exposed judicial manipulations of devious Ghana's Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Mr Godfred Yeboah Dame.
It has come to the attention of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), that during the proceedings on Thursday, 23rd May, 2024, in the matter of the trial of the Leader of the NDC Minority in Parliament, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the 3rd Accused, Mr. Richard Jakpa testified in open court that the Attorney-General, Godfred Yeboah Dame has had several meetings with him at odd hours and telephone conversations impressing on him to skew his testimony to implicate the Minority Leader.
According to the NDC, these are matters of fact which formed part of the court’s record of proceedings today.
The NDC is deeply scandalized by this clear case of persecution against the Leader of the party’s Caucus in Parliament who has been at the forefront of our struggle against the misrule of the oppressive and despotic Akufo-Addo/Bawumia NPP regime, this was contained in a statement signed and issued the Chairman of the NDC, Honourable Johnson Asiedu Nketiah and copied to Soireenews.com.

PRESS STATEMENT
For Immediate Release:
23rd May, 2024.
WITNESS EXPOSES JUDICIAL MANIPULATIONS OF DEVIOUS GODFRED DAME IN COURT
It has come to the attention of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), that during the proceedings of today, Thursday, 23rd May, 2024, in the matter of the trial of the Leader of the NDC Minority in Parliament, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the 3rd Accused, Mr. Richard Jakpa testified in open court that the Attorney-General, Godfred Yeboah Dame has had several meetings with him at odd hours and telephone conversations impressing on him to skew his testimony to implicate the Minority Leader.
These are matters of fact which formed part of the court’s record of proceedings today.
The NDC is deeply scandalised by this clear case of persecution against the Leader of the party’s Caucus in Parliament who has been at the forefront of our struggle against the misrule of the oppressive and despotic Akufo-Addo/Bawumia NPP regime.
This revelation goes to confirm legitimate and long-held suspicion of the devious modus operandi of Godfred Dame and the government he represents.
It further shows the desperate lengths the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia NPP government will go to manipulate judicial processes to unjustly victimise political opponents for cheap political goal-scoring.
It also confirms the lack of integrity of the dishonourable Attorney-General and the extent to which he goes to pervert the course of justice.
The NDC served notice that early next week, the party shall hold a full-blown press conference and put out incontrovertible evidence on this matter that will shock the nation.
"We will stop at nothing in pursuing this matter to its logical conclusion and ensuring that justice is done," Mr Nketiah assured.
SIGNED.
