Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has called for the immediate past Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, to be hauled before the General Legal Council for alleged misconduct in the prosecution of Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson in the controversial ambulance procurement case.

According to Mr. Kpebu, Mr. Dame’s actions—allegedly coaching a prosecution witness to lie against an accused person—were disgraceful and brought the legal profession into disrepute.

Speaking on Accra 100.5 FM’s evening news on Friday, February 15, 2025, he expressed deep disappointment in Mr. Dame’s handling of the case, stating that his conduct had tarnished the integrity of the Bar.

“The Attorney-General’s role is to uphold justice, not manipulate it. Teaching a witness to lie is a serious violation and must not be tolerated,” Mr. Kpebu stated.

He insisted that Mr. Dame’s actions during his tenure were a blot on the legal profession, and urged legal professionals to take the initiative in petitioning the General Legal Council for disciplinary action.

Mr. Kpebu did not mince words, describing Mr. Dame as “a wicked lawyer” who had used his position to destroy the reputations of others.

He went further to brand him as a “rogue Attorney-General”, emphasizing that his tenure was characterized by abuse of power and unethical conduct.

His remarks came in reaction to Mr. Dame’s criticism of the current Attorney-General’s decision to discontinue some high-profile cases pending before the courts.

Mr. Kpebu insisted that instead of questioning those decisions, Mr. Dame should be held accountable for his own actions, which had undermined justice and fairness in legal proceedings.
