The Member of Parliament for Assin North, James Gyakye Quayson, has petitioned the General Legal Council (GLC) to investigate the Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame for what he describes as “professional misconduct”.
In a letter to the GLC, Gyakye Quayson stated that AG’s conduct on the last adjourned date (19 July 2023) where the AG failed to tell the court of an attachment referred by a witness is contrary to the professional conduct of lawyers.
The Assin North MP said on 16 June 2023, when his lawyer was trying to bring to the attention of the court that he was a candidate in the Assin North parliamentary by-election, Dame used insulting language against him.
He said, “This gratuitous insult on the part of the Attorney-General was without any basis and had no place in the trial and, I am advised by my lawyers, is contrary to the Rules of Professional Conduct of lawyers.”
