The Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong, is innocent and not involved in any wrongdoing concerning the GHC51.2million judgement debt paid to Alfred Woyome, Deputy Attorney General Dominic Ayine has defended.
“We are not afraid of anything. My boss and I are very clean,” he told Emefa Apawu on Class FM’s 505 news programme on Thursday, November 17.
The Supreme Court granted permission to former Attorney General, Mr Martin Amidu, to cross examine Mr Alfred Woyome in court over the judgment debt paid to him in 2010.
The court further requested both parties involved in the case to reappear in court on 24th November.
Mr Amidu’s action followed a move by the Attorney General to discontinue oral examination of Mr Woyome.
Critics have alleged that the Attorney General may have benefited from Mr Woyome, the reason for discontinuing the case.
But Dr Ayine insisted that the Attorney General “just wants due process to be followed.”
He stressed: “[Martin] Amidu and Ace Ankomah and the others, they all know that Marietta and I will never take a bribe.”
According to him, the critics of the Attorney General “know we inherited whatever problem we have and we were not soiled with anything close to Woyome”.
Dr Ayine rather accused Mr Amidu of being used by the political opponents of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to pursue an “evil” agenda.

oh young northern lawyers, insteed of you following the foot steps of mr amidu, you rather condenming him? aah mr amidu is great, none of you can conpare him in all angles. so its on wise sensible to emulate him ok
The AG Mrs Brew and this northner kriminal Ayine and a thiff like Jon Mahama have already been settled by woyome to put impediments in the way of Martin-Amidu ; HOW CAN YOU AYINNE A THIFF LIKE YOU SAY YOU ARE NOT AFRAID OF MARTIN-AMIDU !!!!!! : HOW CAN YOU BE AFRAID OF A MERE MORTAL LIKE MARTIN-AMIDU because the only thing you need to fear of is the WAYS OF THE CREATOR OR GOD; Mrs Brew and his partner Tony Lithur who represents the president were involved in this robbery and shared the cash ;MRS BREW IS A THIFF -PERIOD !!!!!! ; the problem you and Mrs Brew are facing is that an examination of how the cas was spent and how the cash will be paid will expose Tony Lithur as a beneficiary of the cash ; it may propbably reveal that Mrs Brew was also a beneficiary in some way ; the way is sIMPLE FOR GHANAINS JUST VOTE JON MAHAMA OUT IN DEC ELECTIONS -PERIOD !!!!!!!!
ooooooh this is dis-grace to AG and N#D#C Government
didn't know "homessense" is barred.
Dear Dr Ayine, Some of us who listened to you on Joy FM last night and this morning, felt sorry for this country. First was the clear contradictions in your answers (i.e sequence of events; meetings and letters). Second was the absence of "home***barred word***" in your responses. Let me explain. Now if the AG's department is tasked with collecting the money from Woyome but observes what appears to be a "technical issue" in the way Amidu has been allowed to cross-examine Woyome next week, the question of priority comes to play here. And the position the AG takes, will show whether or not it has "home***barred word***". Her position will also betray where her allegiance lies. Will the AG be more interested in correcting a technical legal error - if the money were her personal asset - or she'll rather pursue the collection of the money, and leave the Supreme Court to cure that perceived technical error? Who in her right "home***barred word***" is more interested in curing a legal error (assuming one did exist in the Amidu case), than collecting her OWN MONEY from a debtor. Who will do that? But no, the money belongs to the state (poor Ghana) and so those charged with seeking Ghana's interests rather resort to seeking individual interest. But we know the story now: Woyome gave people in NDC a junk of the money for all kinds of things they did. Given 100 years, an NDC CANNOT retrieve it. Change is the answer!
mr Ayine if you have to fear then why are you preventing Mr Martin Amidu from going to court to collect our money for us.
