Press Conference by Honourable Dr.
Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, Attorney General and Minister of Justice on Justifications for Decision to Drop Charges in Certain Criminal Prosecutions Accra, February 12,2025 Ladies and Gentlemen of the Media: Upon assumption of office as the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, I have taken decisions on certain prosecutions that were instituted by my predecessors, the Honourable Gloria Akuffo and the Honourable Godfred Yeboah Dame.
Specifically, I decided to drop the criminal charges laid against certain persons including those who served in the Government of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that left office in January 2017.
I did so mindful of the fact that I am serving in a government that came to power on the back of promises of exacting accountability from everyone who has served or is serving in public office.
