The Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has called on the Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare-Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, to present credible evidence to support the corruption allegations he made on social media.
Speaking to the press on Wednesday, April 30, Dr. Ayine categorically denied the accusations, describing them as “palpable falsehoods.” He firmly rejected claims that he diverted funds from the Sanitation Levy to a friend, and dismissed all allegations of theft and corruption.
Dr. Ayine emphasized that his actions are always guided by careful consideration and a strong sense of integrity—qualities he believes earned him the role of Attorney General.
“The Honourable Kwame Asare-Obeng took to social media to make serious allegations against me, calling me corrupt and a thief. Besides the name-calling, the Facebook post in its totality was palpable falsehood. I was never involved in the passage of the sanitation levy as I was not a member of the Finance Committee of Parliament, let alone being in a position to influence the position of the membership of the committee,” he said.
He urged A Plus to substantiate his allegations with clear and verifiable evidence.
“If A Plus has any evidence of corruption or thievery against me, I am challenging him today to call a press conference and present the evidence or present it to the police to investigate me,” he added
