Attorney-General Godfred Dame has said that criticisms that came with the $111 million judgment debt awarded in favour of Ghana Power Generation Company by the court in the United States, form part of smear campaigns by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to tarnish his works. Mr Dame explained that "the award was final, and my duty will be to ensure that the Ministry of Finance pays.

He asked why the Attroney-General did not defend the government in the case?
"What was the Attorney-General's Department and the Ministry of Energy doing?
