The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine has cautioned critics against hastily labeling President John Mahama as a 'clearing agent'.
Addressing the press on Wednesday, February 12, he asked the critics to hasten slowly noting that his office operates independently. "I am not under any instructions or pressure to discontinue any case or to bring charges against one.
Those who are in a haste to tag the President as a clearing agent should hasten slowly because he is not responsible for prosecutions and has not directed me to drop any case," he said.
Dr Ayine explained that he consulted widely and reviewed the files diligently before deciding on each of the seven cases that were discontinued.
