Posture adopted by Dominic Ayine undermine Ghana’s democracy – Godfred Dame

Former Attorney-General, Godfred Yeboah Dame has slammed his successor Dominic Ayine, accusing him of undermining Ghana’s democracy and democratic structures.

This comes after the new Attorney-General discontinued multiple cases pursued by Godfred Yeboah Dame but was unsuccessful in securing a conviction from the court.

Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Wednesday, February 12, Dr. Ayine explained that his decisions to discontinue the cases were guided by ethical considerations, legal principles, and a commitment to fairness and transparency.

Reacting to the explanations today, Godfred Yeboah Dame stated that the move by the new Attorney-General is part of efforts to shield members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) from the law.

He opined that the posture adopted by Dominic Ayine does not only undermine the country’s democracy but good governance structures as well.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I deem the press conference hurriedly assembled by the Attorney-General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, as a knee-jerk reaction to genuine concerns raised by well-meaning Ghanaians on the attempt by the NDC Government to whitewash the crimes of persons who served in the NDC government and as far as the law would allow, clothe them with perpetual immunity from being prosecuted for offences committed against the Republic of Ghana.

“The posture adopted by the Hon. A-G threatens to undermine Ghana’s democratic and good governance structures,” Godfred Yeboah Dame argued.
