Franklin Cudjoe supports a legal complaint against former Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame. Daniel Kwame Ofosu-Appiah filed the petition with Ghana's General Legal Council. The citizen wants officials to punish Dame for bad behavior during a court case. Dame allegedly tried to change what witness Richard Jakpa would say in court. Audio recordings show Dame talking to Jakpa about the ambulance trial case.
Jakpa met Dame four times at a private house during the ongoing court case. The two men also sent WhatsApp messages back and forth about trial documents. Jakpa's lawyer never knew about these secret meetings and messages. The petitioner says Dame broke seven different lawyer rules through these actions. Legal experts call this kind of behavior dishonest and wrong for any attorney.
The IMANI Africa founder spoke on TV3's KeyPoints show about the complaint. Cudjoe told Dame he must face the consequences for his actions. The petition focuses only on what Dame did wrong as a lawyer. Cudjoe said this has nothing to do with political revenge against the previous government. Dame should accept responsibility instead of claiming people want to hurt him unfairly.
