Two sets of laws for two sets of people in Ghana – Godfred Dame

In a press release issued on Friday July 31, 2026, the former Attorney-General argued that the Court of Appeal’s decision has deepened public concerns over whether political affiliation now influences accountability within Ghana’s criminal justice system.

Former Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has criticised what he describes as the growing perception that Ghana’s justice system operates “two sets of laws for two sets of people” following the acquittal and discharge of former MASLOC Chief Executive, Sedina Tamakloe Attionu.

To support that position, Dame recounted that his principal focus as Attorney-General was not an appeal but the enforcement of the High Court’s judgment.
