Deputy Attorney-General (A-G) nominee, Justice Srem-Sai has said that he stands by his earlier comment that he saw a memo that was written to former A-G Godfred Dame to discontinue the trial of former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr Johnson Asiama who has now been appointed Governor.
Appearing before the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Wednesday, February 26, he said "I stand by that comment." Asked whether he will be able to provide the said memo, he said "I am unable to provide evidence of the memo because of my current status…I saw it from electronic trails of the memo and I saw it in my capacity as a private citizen." Prior to his comment, the former A-G had challenged his successor Dr.
Dominic Ayine, to provide evidence of a memo recommending the withdrawal of charges against Bank of Ghana Governor, Johnson Asiama.
Dame had insisted that no such document existed and asserted that the decision to drop the charges by Mr Ayine was based on falsehoods.
