A spokesperson for the Ministry, Isaac Wilberforce said in an interview on May 24 that pursuing a defamatory case against Richard Jakpa is not an option.

This follows the allegation by Richard Jakpa that Attorney-General Godfred Dame has called him at odd hours attempting to influence him to implicate Minority Leader Cassiel Ato Forson.

The Attorney-General rebutted by saying that Richard Jakpa wrote several letters seeking plea bargaining, which the Attorney-General has rejected. Subsequently, the Attorney-General leaked letters Richard Jakpa wrote to him offering to pay for the case to be dropped.

“Defamatory suit, once again I would say now is not necessary. I mean these are political discussions and the first accused person or the first accused person has been charged with a criminal offence.”

”So if the defence, in this case, is that the Attorney General had negotiations with the third accused person if that’s the defence then it will be a bit difficult in court for the defence I should say,” Isaac Wilberforce Mensah told Asaase Radio.
