NDC MPs Motion to Remove Godfred Dame Likely to Fail – Amaliba

A private Legal Practitioner, Abraham Amaliba has stated that attempts by Members of the Minority in Parliament to remove the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Dame might not be successful.

Speaking to Starr FM, Mr Amaliba stated that various aspects of the directive from Parliament may be done by different officers adding that the motion by the NDC’s Minority must identify specifically what role the Attorney General should have played for which he has refused.

“If the directives emanating from Parliament were directed at the Attorney General and he has also decided that he was not going to comply then that is a good ground for a vote of censure. But if the directive was directed to him personally at his office or it was directed at the General Legal Council, he (Godfred Dame) is not the head of the GLC, it’s the Chief Justice.

“If it is GLC then I will find it difficult how the Attorney General will be responsible. So we need to be very clear on who is to carry out that directive, like I said if it is the AG then he is actually a candidate for a vote of censure if he refuses to obey the instructions of Parliament,” he told Starr FM.
