‘If you’re an old fool, I’ll reset your brain; stupid man’ — A Plus fires back at Dr. Ayine

Gomoa Central Member of Parliament Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has launched a counterattack at Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine.

A Plus had earlier taken to social media to accuse Dr. Ayine of corruption and complicity in a controversial sanitation levy deal, which he claimed was manipulated to benefit individuals close to the Attorney General.

Responding to the claim at a press briefing on Wednesday, April 30, Dr. Ayine stated that the Independent MP may have mistaken a campaign donation from one Mr. Sledge, a resident of East Legon, as a bribe.

Reaffirming his commitment to accountability, Dr. Ayine challenged the MP, saying, “If you have evidence against me, bring it out. I have sufficient reserves of integrity to do this job.”

But in a fiery social media post following the press conference, A Plus doubled down on his claims and clarified that the Attorney General had allegedly approached the said individual to solicit GH¢500,000 to influence the Appointments Committee of Parliament.

“No! That is not true. What I said was that, according to my information, you went to beg for GH¢500,000 to bribe the Appointments Committee of Parliament,” A Plus insisted.

He added, “And for your information, you are not the only one. If you are an old fool, I’ll reset your brain. Stupid man!”

Meanwhile, Dr. Ayine has dismissed the accusations as “palpable falsehoods,” insisting he was not a member of Parliament’s Finance Committee at the time the sanitation levy was passed and could not have influenced its approval.
