The Minority in Parliament has called for the immediate resignation or removal of the Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine.
Their grievances stemmed from alleged incompetence in connection with the withdrawal of GH¢350 million from the Contingency Fund to assist victims of recent Accra floods.
The caucus alleges that the release of the funds could have breached a court order and provisions of Ghana’s public financial management laws, as the Contingency Fund was under attachment when the withdrawal was made.
According to the Minority, the Attorney General should have first taken steps to have the order lifted before authorising the release of the funds, considering the Contingency Fund is presently the subject of garnishee proceedings.
Speaking to journalists, the Deputy Minority Leader, Patricia Appiagyei, accused Dr Ayine of failing to adhere to the required legal procedures in approving the withdrawal.
“We call on the President, who swore to preserve, protect and defend this Constitution, to relieve him of office without delay.
“The Minority accordingly demands the Attorney General and the Minister for Finance to appear before Parliament without delay to lay before the House the garnishee order, the full record of the suit that produced the judgment debt, the letter dated 1st July, 2026, and every correspondence exchanged among the Attorney General, the Ministry of Finance, the Controller and Accountant General’s Department and the Bank of Ghana concerning the attachment, the directives and the withdrawal,” she said.
The Minority Caucus further demanded evidence from the government to support its claim that the GH¢350 million withdrawn from the Contingency Fund was used to provide assistance to the flood victims.
