Attorney General and Minister for Justice-designate, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has pledged 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, Dr Ayine, reiterated his commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring justice for all Ghanaians.
“I can assure the house that if they are [legal contracts] before the London Court of International Arbitration, I’m quite familiar with that tribunal. I have appeared before that tribunal several times. I can assure you that I will put in the measures that will ensure that the interest of the public is not compromised.”
Citing his tenure as Deputy Attorney General under former Attorney General Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong, Dr. Ayine highlighted his commitment to maintaining a corruption-free ministry.
“For four years, the US government described the Attorney General’s Office as a corruption-free zone. During our tenure, there was no single incident of questionable judgments or misconduct in the execution of the Republic’s obligations,” he said.
He further assured the Committee of his readiness to implement measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
