Attorney General and Minister of Justice Dominic Ayine has described Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin’s allegations that security personnel who conducted a search at the home of Dr. Ernest Addison, the former governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), stole Ghc10,000 and other valuables as insulting.

The Minority alleged that the operatives who conducted the search stole Dr. Addison’s money and his wife’s jewellery.

He claimed that the operatives, led by Richard Jakpa, Director of Special Operations, unlawfully took cash and valuables from Dr. Addison’s bedroom on March 19, 2025.

In response to the allegations, Dr. Ayine described them as insulting and asked the Ghanaian people to disregard them.

He has therefore advised him to stop using his parliamentary privileges in making false claims.

“There was no raid on his house, and there was nothing illegal or unconstitutional about what we did. But they have decided to bastardise me and also the operatives of National Security by even claiming that during the raid, they stole GHC10,000. What an insult!”

“That is what the Deputy Attorney General was referring to when he said that the constitutional immunity granted to MPs does not mean they should abuse it and defame individuals or persons conducting public business.”
