Less than one month into office, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr , on behalf of his boss, President , has discontinued criminal proceedings against more than 10 people who were being prosecuted by the erstwhile government.
The actions of the Attorney General have raised eyebrows with some legal experts, including renowned lawyer, Martin Kpebu, asking Dr Ayine to justify his decision to discontinue the cases.
Some have argued that the discontinuation of the cases, which included cases of former appointees of President Mahama's first term and political activists who were arrested under the Akufo-Addo government, are politically motivated and not based on merit.
But are these arguments true?
