The Attorney General’s (AG) Department must be detached from the Ministry of Justice for reduced interference from the government, majority leader in the sixth parliament, Alban Bagbin said in 2015.
Mr Bagbin believed such a move which he described as a “political position”, will ensure more efficiency in the delivery of justice in the country.
He made these statements at a public lecture on the theme: “Corruption and National Development,” organised by the Faculty of Integrated Development Studies (FIDS) of the University for Development Studies (UDS), Wa campus.
