Commentary: Betty Mould-Iddrisu is Ghana's first female Attorney General and was once tipped to be President John Atta Mills's running mate in the 2008 presidential elections. She is married to Mahama Iddrisu, who served as an advisor and Defence Minister under the Jerry Rawlings government. According to some commentators, Rawlings's wife Nana Konadu encouraged President Mills to appoint Mould-Iddrisu as Attorney General. 

Some National Democratic Congress (NDC) party members have called for Mould-Iddrisu to take up a different position in government. They are angered by her failure to prosecute former New Patriotic Party (NPP) officials for alleged corruption during their time in office.
