Former NPP Member of Parliament for Asante Akyim North, Andy Appiah-Kubi, has hailed Dr. Dominic Ayine, the newly appointed Attorney General and Minister for Justice-designate, as a “patriotic angel” for Ghana’s justice system.
Speaking to the media, Mr Appiah-Kubi lauded President John Mahama’s decision to appoint Dr. Ayine, noting his professionalism, integrity, and unwavering commitment to justice.
Mr Appiah-Kubi emphasised Dr Ayine’s record as a “lawyer’s lawyer”, applauding his non-partisan approach to legal matters.
“Dr. Ayine is a perfect fit for the Attorney General and Minister for Justice portfolio. He has an unblemished record, and he is so patriotic,” he said.
“He’s always on point—you wouldn’t find him being too political or partisan. That’s exactly the kind of person Ghana needs right now to lead the advocacy of justice.”
Mr Appiah-Kubi highlighted Dr Ayine’s dedication to prioritising legal principles over political interests, even in situations where political bias might be expected.
“He remains steadfast as a lawyer’s lawyer. He’s someone who prioritises justice above all else, and that makes him an extraordinary choice,” he added.
The former MP further expressed confidence in Dr. Ayine’s ability to uphold the integrity of the Ministry of Justice, asserting that his moral compass would guide his decisions.
“Dr. Ayine is a man of high integrity. He will not be motivated by political or partisan considerations, and Ghana will undoubtedly be the winner with him at the helm,” Mr. Appiah-Kubi said on Joy News.
Appiah-Kubi also commended Ayine’s past leadership and professional conduct, including his role as chairman of the Subsidiary Legislation Committee.
“Ghana needs someone of his calibre now more than ever,” he concluded, offering his prayers and best wishes to the Attorney General-designate.
