"I repeat that it is highly unprofessional for an Attorney-General to make untruthful allegations against the prosecuting team and judges sitting on cases being prosecuted by his Office without basis". These are the words of Mr. Dame in response to the attack by Dr. Ayine against Justice Clemence Honyenuga in the Dr. Opuni matter.

Mr. Dame made this statement against the press briefing of Dr. Ayine during his press briefing on 14th February, 2025 in direct response to the reasons offered by Dr. Ayine for 'clearing' Dr. Opuni formerly of the Ghana Cocoa Board.

Mr. Dame during his press briefing where he offered a comprehensive response to the defence put across by the learned A-G as his defense for 'clearing' politicians linked to his party, the National Democratic Congress, said "Fellow Ghanaians, in purported rationalisation of the Government’s decision to withdraw the Opuni case, the Attorney-General, most bizarrely, attacked the integrity of a retired Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Clemence Honyenuga and the Honourable Chief Justice, albeit unjustifiably. Dr. Ayine claimed that a perjury application filed by Dr. Stephen Kwabena Opuni against a witness was not heard by Justice Honyenuga and that “this is most unacceptable”. Regrettably, this is another falsehood in Dr. Ayine’s press statement. The trial court ruled on the said perjury application. The applicant proceeded to the Court of Appeal."
