The Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, has issued a strong caution to individuals and groups allegedly paying bloggers and social media commentators to malign his office, declaring that such tactics will not sway his determination to deliver justice fairly and diligently.
Speaking at the Accountability Press Series in Accra on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, Dr. Ayine reaffirmed his office’s unwavering commitment to professionalism and transparency in all ongoing investigations and prosecutions. He stressed that the Office of the Attorney General (AG) operates strictly by due process, undeterred by external influences or shifting public opinion.
“I want to make it clear that the orchestrated online ridicule and sponsored attacks will not work. The law will take its course, and justice will soon be served in all cases currently under investigation and prosecution,” Dr. Ayine asserted.
Addressing criticism about his competence, Dr. Ayine dismissed such claims, pointing to his solid track record as a legal practitioner. “I have never been incompetent in my private practice, and I will not be incompetent in public service. I understand the law and the responsibilities that come with this office,” he stated.
Dr. Ayine also acknowledged that many individuals under investigation have significant resources and access to top legal representation. As such, his office is meticulous in gathering all necessary documents and evidence before proceeding to court.
He concluded by reaffirming the government’s dedication to upholding the rule of law, promising that anyone found culpable will face the full force of justice without fear or favor. The Attorney General’s remarks come amid heightened public scrutiny of the judiciary and increased calls for accountability in Ghana’s legal system.
