The former Attorney General, Godfred Dame, has criticised the decision by his successor, Dr.
Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, to discontinue some high-profile cases initiated by the without wide consultations.
Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Friday, February 14, 2024, he stated that the cases involved significant losses of taxpayers' monies and had devastating impacts of the country's economy. "The people of Ghana should be very scared if we have an Attorney General whose prime consideration for the discontinuation of criminal cases involving the loss of billions of Ghana cities is the position of defence lawyers on charges preferred against their clients, rather than the interest of the republic in the prosecution of crime.
Even more scary and bizarre is the claim that he did not consult President before taking the monumental decisions to discontinue the criminal cases. "The cases involved the loss of colossal sums of taxpayers money and some related to the banking sector crisis, which affected the Ghanaian economy.
