Supreme Court Discharges Ayine Of Contempt Charge

Former Deputy Attorney General, Dr Dominic Ayine, has been discharged by the Supreme Court after being cited for contempt in the ongoing election petition.

This was after the court met today to weigh his execution of its directive to purge himself of contempt.

Dr Ayine had been ordered by the court to purge himself of the contempt by using the same medium of which he scandalized the Supreme Court.

“I have looked at what I said that day and I have come to the conclusion that I went overboard. I crossed the lines with respect to the remarks that I made in terms of attributing impropriety to the Supreme Court of the Republic of Ghana,” Ayine told the press on Monday February 22.

“This morning, I delivered a letter to His Lordship the Chief Justice, offering an unqualified apology to the court,” he said.
