Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus and Dr Dominic Ayine
Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, the Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, has accused the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, of bribery and corruption.
According to A Plus, the minister allegedly sought an amount of GH¢500,000 to bribe the Appointment Committee of Parliament.
His accusation followed a rebuttal by Dr Ayine during a press conference on April 30, 2025, where he denied initial allegations made by A Plus concerning corruption-related matters.
A Plus stated, “No! That is not true. My information is that you went to beg for 500 thousand cedis, claiming you were going to use it to bribe the Appointment Committee of Parliament. And for your information, you’re not the only one. If you are an old… I’ll reset your brain…man!”
Dr Ayine had explained during the press conference that he had not engaged in any corruption but had rather sought campaign funds from one Mr. Sledge.
He further elaborated, “A Plus warned me in his post not to do anything silly and threatened to come after me if I did. That is laughable.”
He added, “The threat is laughable because I have nothing to hide. I’m reliably informed that his basis for accusing me of corruption and theft is that I received campaign contributions from a businessman. He also claims to know the people who donated pickups for my campaign.”
Dr Ayine continued, “If receiving donations for your campaign or getting a pickup for campaign purposes is considered theft or corruption, then there are 276 thieves in Parliament, including the person making the allegation.”
