The Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG) is backing a call made by\u00a0businessman, Alfred Agbesi Woyome for the resignation of the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong.<\/p>\n
According to the group the demand by Woyome is legitimate because of the role the AG’s law firm played in the payment of the infamous GH\u00a251 million judgment debt.<\/p>\n
