Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, the acting Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has told the former Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame to confess his sins to a Roman Father and ask for forgiveness.
According to Edudzi Tameklo, Godfred Dame plotted to get the current Finance minister Ato Forson jailed.
Speaking on TV3 Key Points, Edudzi Tameklo detailed, “Godfred Awuah Dame, if he’s a Catholic, should get a Roman Father and possibly do a confession and ask for forgiveness. You don’t know the conspiracy that Godfred built to put Ato Forson in jail at all costs. It’s a painful episode and that should never happen again”.
“I don’t care whether you are NPP or NDC. Per our rules of engagement, we are supposed to provide representation to anybody, provided it does not offend the rules. That is our calling,” he added.
Mr Tameklo added, “The last Bar meeting when the Bar Council met and the question was whether or not Godfred should go to the Bar conference in Kumasi and whether he can deliver a speech, the Bar Council itself were divided.
In fact, some of the Bar Council members said no, he needed to apologise because as the leader of the Bar, what happened relative to the Richard Jakpa matter had brought so much opprobrium and public ridicule to the entire work of lawyers and that it offends specific rules of engagement.
So some Bar Council members said, in view of this, they will not allow him to give a speech at the conference. It was a split at the Council. I am telling you that during that period, Godfred was just untouchable”.
Meanwhile, Godfred Yeboah Dame has been dragged to the General Legal Council for unprofessional conduct.
Reports suggest the Godfred Dame has been dragged to the General Legal Council by a private citizen, Daniel Kwame Ofosu-Appiah regarding his claim unprofessionally in the Republic v. Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson & Anor. Case.
The private citizen alleged that Godfred Dame violated the principles of the legal profession when he was allegedly caught on a leaked tape attempting to coerce Richard Jakpa, the 3rd accused in the case, to give evidence in a certain manner.
