Vice President of IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil, has accused former Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Dame, of misleading the Supreme Court of Ghana on the use of state funds for the National Cathedral project.
According to Kofi Bentil, Mr.
Dame peddled falsehoods when he told the apex court that state funds would not be used for the cathedral project, except for what he termed as "seed money", despite knowing that more public funds were being spent.
Bentil further criticised both Dame and the Supreme Court, which dismissed a case brought by James Kwabena Bomfeh, former Youth Organiser of the Convention People's Party (CPP), challenging the use of public funds for the cathedral. "In my view, the AG lied… I don't know how to put this, but in short, this is one of the reasons why the present Chief Justice is facing what she's facing.
