The Coalition of Aggrieved Customers of Menzgold (CACM) has petitioned the Appointments Committee of Parliament to reject the minister-designate of Justice and Attorney-General, Mr Godfred Dame.
According to the petition co-signed by CACM Chairman Isaac Nyarko and Secretary Samuel Odartey on 8 February 2021, Mr Dame “is not suitable” for the position.
The group indicated that their petition against Mr Dame’s appointment is premised, among many others, on the fact that “The future principal legal adviser to the Government cannot be indifferent; inactive and non-forceful in communicating to the government what public interest looks like if over 2 million Ghanaian nationals (who invested well over 100 million dollars into Menzgold) have had criminal financial acts committed against them by identifiable perpetrators.
“Thus far, Mr Dame has been indifferent when approached by our members and our members’ representatives about this financial crisis which goes against public interest as defined under Article 295 of the 1992 constitution,” the petition added.
