Godfred Yeboah Dame, the former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice has stated it is about time good men of this country stood up for what is right.
The former AG asserted that representing suspended Chief Justice Torkornoo is not a sign of NPP alignment.
According to Godfred Dame, his action is in line with his long-standing commitment to defending the Judiciary a stance he says has defined his career from the beginning.
Speaking on JOY FM, Godfred Dame stated, “It is about time that good men in this country speak for what is righteous and what is right. If there is any Attorney-General who, right from his appointment, has stood up for the judiciary and spoken against attacks on it, it is myself.
It is not right and must be corrected. It is about time that proper things are stood for in this country. We cannot let people mislead the public and let it go uncorrected.”
He added, “It is about time that the proper things are stood for in this country and we cannot let people mislead the public and go uncorrected. I am making the point the action I have taken is consistent with all actions I have taken right from the first day I was appointed Attorney General.
What I am doing now is very much in tune and consistent with all I have stood for all my life. Indeed it is not about Justice Torkonoo at all it is about ensuring that this unwarranted attack on the judiciary is fought off.
All that is happening is a very calculated effort by the NDC government to attack the Judiciary and shape it in a manner they desire”, he added.
Meanwhile, Edudzi Tamakloe, the Director of Legal Affairs for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has welcomed the Chief Justice’s injunction application.
Edudzi Tamakloe asserted that the injunction application filed by the Chief Justice is quite refreshing.
Speaking on CITI FM he stated, “This application by Her Ladyship herself to restrain the committee from performing its constitutional task comes to me as quite an interesting one, giving the reliefs, and also looking at the injunction application”.
“I’m happy that the suspended Chief Justice is going to have the benefit of how the justice system works. Just like any one of us, her leadership may need the benefits of the very justice she, together with others, over the years, delivered to people.”
“It is my hope and belief that she will be given all the opportunities required under our constitution as a citizen of this country. I think it’s quite refreshing,” he concluded.
