Attorney General, Godfred Dame, has said a recent petition by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to the Commonwealth Secretariat is just an attempt to evade the claws of justice.
In the petition signed by General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia, Ghana’s biggest opposition party said that “Since assuming the reins of power in 2016, the message of physical violence against political opponents that Nana Addo preached and championed before the 2016 general elections has turned into structural, institutional and systematic forms of violence in the form of human rights violations, harassment, and political persecutions against members and supporters of the NDC,”
Mr. Dame, who is also the Minister of Justice, however, told journalists on Tuesday, March 1, 2022, that “I find it [petition] to be very hypocritical and misleading”.
He explained: “All the government has sought to do is that the NDC and its officers are brought to book.
“I will not be deterred at all in my quest to ensure that there is accountability for the people of Ghana”, he vowed.
He noted that the “cases that we have investigated and the actions we have filed in court are on account of solid evidence that we have unearthed through painstaking investigation.
“I can cite the incident of Alfred Woyome”, pointing out; “All this recourse to the tribunal is an attempt to get the NDC to run away from justice [because] their claims are unjustified.
“I do not think we must pay too much attention to it,” he added.
To him, “It is a clear attempt to undermine the administration of justice in the court and an attempt to interfere with the sound administration of justice.
“As far as I know, no foreign entity can influence or interfere with the courts of justice in the country,” he averred.
“As far as I am concerned, all this attempt by the NDC is an attempt to infringe the sovereignty of Ghana.”

Everything is bad when the NDC is not calling the shots. In other words, parochial party interests that are solely motivated by the self-ambition of the party cohorts to constitute the government are the primary objective of the NDC rather than the national one. This tendency, if overstressed, becomes counterproductive and the good people of Ghana will demonstratively vote massively against it come the 2024 elections. Furthermore, the NDC should not forget that foreign deplomats have their own independent assessments
IS IT NOT THE SAME NDC PARTY THAT DARES THE GOVERNMENT TO ARREST THEM IF THEY HAVE STOLEN MONIES? AND NOW THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS INVESTIGATED MOST OF THEIR CRIMES AND COMING AFTER THEM, THEY’RE NOW RUNNING TO THE COMMON WEALTH? COMMON WEALTH OR WHATEVER, WE WILL ARREST THEM AND COLLECT THE MONIES STOLEN FROM THE NATION COFFERS.
