‘Young’ Godfred Dame Has The Head Of A 70yr Old Practicing Lawyer – Foh Amoaning

A Senior Lecturer at the Ghana School of Law, Moses Foh-Amoaning says he’s very confident that Attorney-General Designate, Godfred Yeboah Dame will be a very good and successful Attorney-General when he’s approved by Parliament’s Appointment Committee.

According to him, he’s impressed with Mr Yeboah Dame’s technical knowledge of the law which he describes as flawless.

“I’ll say this for Godfred, for a young man, he’s really got the head of a 70-year-old practitioner. He’s solid with his law, he has a deep understanding of the law and not just the mechanical bit of the law, it is the way you appreciate the broad spectrum of the law, the jurisprudence and the policy of the law. 

“He also relates well at the Bar, I’ve seen him in the Supreme Court and his relationship with the members of the Bar is excellent. So I think he’ll be a good Attorney General. What he needs to do is to listen more, talk less, and probably relate more with senior members of the Bar and the appropriate advice. I think he’ll be successful because his technical knowledge of the law is flawless,” Mr. Foh-Amoaning said on “Good Evening Ghana” show  while commenting on the ministerial appointments made by President Akufo Addo.

President Akufo Addo has elevated Godfred Yeboah Dame to a substantive Attorney General position after he deputized for Attorney General Gloria Akuffo during the President’s first term in office.

Meanwhile, Lawyer Godfred Yeboah Dame has recently been adjudged the 1st Best Deputy Minister for the year 2020.
