A private citizen, Daniel Ofosu-Appiah, has lodged a formal complaint with the General Legal Council (GLC) against former Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame, citing alleged unprofessional conduct during the trial of Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson and businessman Richard Jakpa.
According to the petition, Dame’s actions have raised serious concerns about his adherence to professional ethics, particularly in relation to an audio recording purportedly capturing him attempting to influence the testimony of Richard Jakpa.
The recording, made public by the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has sparked intense scrutiny over Dame’s conduct.
The petitioner argues that Dame’s behavior constitutes a clear breach of the ethical standards expected of legal practitioners, warranting disciplinary action.
Ofosu-Appiah has formally requested the GLC to initiate proceedings against Dame, citing professional misconduct.
The allegations against Dame have ignited a heated debate about the integrity of the legal profession and the need for accountability among public officials.
The outcome of the GLC’s investigation is being closely watched, with implications for Dame’s professional standing and the broader legal community.
