MP for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus
Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has deleted derogatory remarks he made on his Facebook page on Thursday, May 1, 2025, against the Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine.
His comments came amid an ongoing exchange between the two public figures.
During a media briefing on Thursday, April 30, 2025, to update the public on high-profile prosecutions, Dr Ayine took the opportunity to address allegations previously made against him by A Plus.
Dr Ayine vehemently denied the accusations, describing them as baseless, and challenged A Plus to provide evidence.
“I am aware of allegations made by Kwame Asare Obeng, MP for Gomoa Central, also known as A Plus, who called me corrupt and a thief on social media, claiming I received campaign contributions from a businessman, Dr. Sledge, and others who donated pickups. These allegations are baseless.
“I challenge him to present evidence of my alleged corruption to the police or hold a press conference. He should also clarify his knowledge of the National Service ghost name scandal and related matters. In my hometown of Zuarungu, we confront falsehoods directly, and I am prepared to do so with Mr. Obeng,” Dr. Ayine stated.
A Plus had alleged on Facebook that Dr Ayine manipulated the drafting and passage of the Sanitation and Pollution Levy in 2021 for personal gain while in opposition, further claiming that Ayine restructured the leadership of a parliamentary committee to benefit a close associate.
A Plus has since deleted the offensive posts, though he has yet to issue a formal apology or retraction.
