Former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mr Godfred Yeboah Dame, is challenging Dr Dominic Akurutinga Ayine, the current Attorney General and Minister of Justice to produce the memo advising the discontinuation of the criminal trial of Dr Johnson Pandit Asiama. "I challenge Dr Ayine to produce such a memo for the examination of the public as he has touted same to the public at a press conference as the basis for his impugned actions," Mr Dame said.
He was speaking at a press conference on Friday, February 14, 2025, in Accra to respond to an earlier press conference organised by Dr Ayine to explain to Ghanaians the reasons his office discontinued some high profile criminal cases.
On Wednesday, February 11, Dr Ayine at a press conference said that Mr Dame received a memo from the prosecution advising the discontinuation of the trial of Dr Asiama, who is now the Governor of Bank of Ghana.
However, Dame insists that he does not recall receiving any such memo from the prosecution. "Let me state for the record that, to the best of my knowledge, no such memorandum exists.
