The former Attorney-General, the learned Godfred Yeboah dame has offered a direct response to his successor on the subject of ethical conduct by stating that the national interest required that the vetting of Dr. Ayine to ascertain his qualification as A-G should have been done after the General Legal Council (GLC) gave Dr, Ayine a clean bill of health in his case of professional misconduct pending at the disciplinary committee of the GLC.

Mr. Dame offered this response to the press briefing of Dr. Ayine held on 12th February, 2025 by saying; "Dr. Ayine’s unfounded allegation insinuating unethical conduct on my part in the conduct of the Ambulance Trial – Republic vrs. Cassiel Ato Forson is highly disingenuous and rather unfortunately, recaps the series of falsehoods persistently published by foot soldiers of the NDC and other uninformed members of society. I must say that I find it quite ironical for Dr. Ayine, who is the subject of disciplinary proceedings for professional misconduct still pending at the General Legal Council, filed by the Hon. former Chief Justice himself, to accuse me of unethical conduct. In the interest of the nation, the case of professional misconduct pending against Dr. Ayine at the General Legal Council, should have been determined before the parliamentary assessment of his suitability or otherwise for the high office of the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice of our dear Republic."

Mr. Dame said, still on the professional wrongs of Dr. Ayine that "Ghanaians want to know rather, how the current Attorney-General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, will deal with the complaint of professional misconduct pending at the General Legal Council against him made by no less a person than the Chief Justice of Ghana in 2021."
