Betty Mould- Iddrisu

Betty Joins NDC Race
Former Attorney General and Minister for Justice,
Betty Mould- Iddrisu, may be contesting the
position of the National Vice Chairperson of the
governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Posters and banners indicating Mould-Iddrisu’s
intentions have been put up in parts of Accra,
including the East Legon residential area.

She is likely to face stiff opposition from some
of the known faces in the party.

Some of the party faithful that have expressed
interest in the same position are, Danny Annan,
former CEO of Accra Hearts of Oak and Harry
Zakour, a businessman.The rest are Alhaji Sinare
and the former minister of education Lee Ocran.

The former Attorney General was once tipped to be
the running mate to the late Prof. John Mills in
the run-up to the 2008 elections.

She was made Attorney General and Minister for
Justice when the NDC won that election.

However, Betty Mould- Iddrisu resigned from her
position after the details of the payment of
controversial judgement debt to NDC financier,
Alfred Agbesi Woyome became public.

She had been under pressure from the opposition
New Patriotic Party (NPP) and some Ghanaians for
her reckless handling of the payment of over
GH¢51 million to the businessman.

DAILY GUIDE learnt that Ms Mould-Iddrisu may soon
make an appearance at the judgement debt
commission for approving dodgy payments to
undeserved people and companies in the name of
judgement debt.

Her colleague former Attorney General, Martin A.K.
Amidu, recently asked the judgement debt
Sole-Commissioner, Justice Yaw Apau, to determine
whether it was lawful for Ms Mould-Iddrisu to
decide a settlement with Yakubu Kasule, owner of
Gbewaa Civil Engineering Limited, in a case
against the government.

Mr. Amidu is insisting that it was irregular for
an Attorney General to enter into terms of
settlement with Yakubu Kasule and his company when
all the cases involved were not consolidated
before the
action.

The commission is therefore expected to invite
Betty to explain her side of the story on the
numerous suspected fraudulent payments which a
Supreme Court Justice had described as ‘create,
loot and share enterprise’.
