General News of Saturday, 17 January 2026Source: kasapafmonline.comDr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine has described his appointment as Ghana’s Attorney General as a profound honour, though not a surprise, citing years of legal, parliamentary, and governmental experience that prepared him for the role. He explained that his previous tenure as Deputy Attorney General between 2013 and 2016 provided critical exposure to the demands of the office, particularly through his work under then Attorney General Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong. According to Dr Ayine, the collaborative environment allowed him to demonstrate both his legal capacity and leadership. Following the National Democratic Congress’ defeat in the 2016 general elections, Dr Ayine noted that he remained actively involved in the party’s legal and parliamentary work. Dr Ayine emphasized that his elevation to the Attorney General position was the culmination of years of deliberate preparation rather than a sudden promotion.
