GBA’s silence on AG’s conduct on Ambulance saga shocking – Della Sowah
Member of Parliament (MP) for Kpando Constituency, Della Sowah has described as shocking the seeming silence of the Ghana Bar Association(GBA) on the conduct of Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame in the recent ambulance saga.
This stems from a leaked phone conversation in which Mr Dame appears to coerce the third accused in the ongoing ambulance case, Richard Jakpa to implicate Minority Leader Dr Cassiel Ato Forson.
According to her, as an association that is concerned about ethical standards, their silence on a breach of ethics is shocking and worrying.
“Legally, it is totally forbidden for a prosecutor to confer with or interview an accused person. Rule 56(2)(d) of the Legal Profession (Professional and Etiquette) Rules, 2020 (L.I 2423),” she added.
Speaking to the media, she said the association should, as a matter of urgency, make a bold statement condemning the conduct of the AG, which does not promote the justice delivery system of Ghana.
According to her, posterity will judge the GBA should they fail to address the matter in line with their ethical standards.
“Why has the GBA kept quiet on a leader of the bar who should hold the profession in high esteem, or they only find their voices when it’s against the National Democratic Congress?” she queried.
She concluded by asking, “Is this what they want young lawyers to learn? They want them to reach out to witnesses in matters and impress on them to bear false testimonies without the knowledge of their lawyers?”

The Diaspora Affairs Office at the Office of the President has hosted a delegation of African diaspora women who are in Ghana ahead of a planned Presidential Conferment of Citizenship ceremony.
The Director of Diaspora Affairs, Kofi Okyere Darko, explained in a Facebook post that the visit was a gesture of appreciation by the delegation to the Government of Ghana for its continued efforts to reconnect Africans in the diaspora with their ancestral homeland.
He indicated that the ceremony, scheduled for next Monday, will officially grant Ghanaian citizenship to members of the delegation as part of the country’s broader engagement with the African diaspora.
The delegation was led by Erica Bennett, Founder of the Diaspora Africa Forum.
According to Mr Okyere Darko, her years of advocacy have played an important role in strengthening ties between Africa and people of African descent living abroad.
He noted that the group’s journey towards citizenship represents not only a legal process but also a cultural and spiritual return to their roots.
Also present at the meeting was Natalie Jackson, an attorney who is also expected to receive Ghanaian citizenship during the ceremony. She works closely with renowned civil rights lawyer Ben Crump.
Mr Okyere Darko emphasised that Ghana remains committed to strengthening relationships with the African diaspora and promoting unity, identity, and shared heritage among people of African descent worldwide.
