“‘I will not compromise the interest of Ghana’ – Dr. Ayine”

Dr. Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, nominated Attorney-General and Minister of Justice-designate, has pledge to prioritize Ghana’s national interests if his nomination is approved by parliament.

Speaking during his vetting by Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Monday, January 13, 2025, Ayine, a seasoned legal practitioner and former Deputy Attorney-General, reiterated his commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring justice for all Ghanaians.

The vetting session is part of the constitutional process to assess nominees selected by President John Dramani Mahama. Dr. Ayine, a seasoned legal practitioner and academic, is known for his deep understanding of constitutional law.

He is expected to play a critical role in ensuring the rule of law and implementing vital legal reforms in the country.

His nomination marks a significant step towards strengthening Ghana’s justice system, which is key to governance and national development.

The process also includes the examination of other nominees, including Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson for Finance and John Abdulai Jinapor for Energy.

As Ghana faces pressing challenges such as high inflation, economic instability, and energy sector issues, the scrutiny of these ministers will be crucial to shaping the future of the country.
