The New Patriotic Party (NPP), Member of Parliament (MP) for Aburi-Nsawam in the Eastern Region and former Deputy Sports Minister, Hon. O.B Amoah, says the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government could decide to bring down an Attorney-General from abroad to replace Betty Mould-Iddrisu, but they would still lose cases against the previous NPP government if they do not have facts.
According to him, the Attorney-General could not win cases without facts, so the government should not put pressure on her to prosecute past government officials of the NPP administration, or reshuffle her due to her alleged inefficiency.
"The Attorney-General is not working alone. She has advisors and a team she works with and so she receives advice from so many different angles before acting on a particular case," he added.
Speaking in an interview with Adom FM, the former Sports Minister emphasized that her team would not allow her to prosecute persons they had no evidence against.
He added that whether Betty Mould-Iddrisu was at post or not, the facts of a case are the ultimate.
�The court takes the final decision,� he stated.
Hon. O.B Amoah averred that, the Attorney-General initially made a big mistake during the campaign period by describing the courts under the NPP regime as �Kangaroo Courts.�
"I wouldn�t stand on such a platform to make a statement of that sort without any facts,� he said.
He added that, it was an internal party matter that needed to be resolved by the party, as a result of their campaign promises.
Hon. O.B. Amoah based his argument on the fact that some NDC members have called on President Mills to immediately reshuffle Betty Mould-Iddrisu because of her inability to prosecute corrupt NPP officials.
