Attorney General and Minister of Justice Godfred Yeboah Dame has called on the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa to retract allegations of conflict of interest leveled against him as regards the National Cathedral.
Yeboah Dame is also seeking an unqualified apology from Ablakwa for spreading falsehood on his person.
Ablakwa had made claims that the AG was the Secretary to the National Cathedral Board, and was also on the board of the Public Procurement Authority which approved designs for the project.
It is quite revealing to observe that when the National Cathedral was incorporated on 18th July 2019; the then Deputy AG, Godfred Dame was registered as Secretary. During that same period, he served on the board of the PPA which approved Adjaye’s irregular sole sourcing contract”, Mr. Ablakwa wrote on Facebook.
The Attorney General is treating these allegations with a pinch of salt as he deems them as lacking any iota of truth.
I consider the allegations by Mr. Okudzeto Ablakwa malevolent and ill-inspired for the simple reason that a cursory examination of the facts would have revealed the untruth in them. I call on the Member of Parliament to retract and apologize to the public for the falsehood he has published against me, failing which I may institute legal action against him,” Mr. Dame said in a statement
