Former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has provided justification for his representation of suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Esaaba Torkornoo, dismissing allegations of conflict of interest.
Mr. Yeboah Dame is acting on behalf of Justice Torkornoo in a matter before the Supreme Court, where she has filed a suit seeking an interlocutory injunction to suspend proceedings of a committee established to probe petitions against her.
Additionally, she is seeking a restraint on Justices Gabriel Scott Pwamang and Samuel Kwame Adibu-Asiedu from participating in the process, citing concerns over an alleged meeting between one of the petitioners’ lawyers and the two judges.
Speaking on Joy News on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, Mr. Dame posited that representing the Torkornoo was not illegal but it was out of the abandance of heart.
“It is about time that good men in this country speak for what is righteous and what is right. If there is any Attorney-General who, right from his appointment, has stood up for the judiciary and spoken against attacks on it, it is myself.
It is not right and must be corrected. It is about time that proper things are stood for in this country. We cannot let people mislead the public and let it go uncorrected.”
The writ, filed by Dame on behalf of the Chief Justice, names the following as defendants/respondents: Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, Justice Samuel Kwame Adibu-Asiedu, former Auditor-General Daniel Yao Domelevo, Major Flora Bazwaanura Dalugo, and Professor James Sefah Dzisah.
