The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine has replied the member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus over the allegation of bribery and corruption levelled against him.
According to Dr Dominic Ayine, if A Plus has any evidence of corruption or thievery against me, he is challenging him today to call a press conference and present.
The Attorney General asserted that he was not a member of the Finance Committee of Parliament, let alone be in the position to influence its composition as the member of parliament claimed.
Speaking at a media briefing on 30 April 2025, Dr Dominic Ayine stated, “I was not a member of the Finance Committee of Parliament, let alone be in the position to influence its composition,” he told journalists, adding that he has parliamentary documents to back his claims.
“As your Attorney General, I have sufficient reserves of integrity. I have never stolen in my life or taken a bribe in public office,” he declared. “The President would not have appointed me if there were questions about my personal integrity.”
“If A Plus has any evidence of corruption or thievery against me, I am challenging him today to call a press conference and present it.”
“Let him be warned. In my hometown, we don’t fear mud being thrown. We walk into the mud to deal with the person doing the mudslinging—and I’m ready to walk into the mud with A Plus.”
He further added, “A Plus warned me in his post not to do anything silly and threatened to come after me if I did. That is laughable.”
He added, “The threat is laughable because I have nothing to hide. I’m reliably informed that his basis for accusing me of corruption and theft is that I received campaign contributions from a businessman. He also claims to know the people who donated pickups for my campaign.”
Dr Ayine continued, “If receiving donations for your campaign or getting a pickup for campaign purposes is considered theft or corruption, then there are 276 thieves in Parliament, including the person making the allegation.”
Meanwhile, A Plus has replied to the Attorney General, according to him the minister allegedly sought an amount of GH¢500,000 to bribe the Appointment Committee of Parliament.
In a post on Facebook, he wrote, “No! That is not true. My information is that you went to beg for 500 thousand cedis, claiming you were going to use it to bribe the Appointment Committee of Parliament. And for your information, you’re not the only one. If you are an old… I’ll reset your brain…man!”
