Deputy Ranking Member on Parliament's Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee, Alhassan Sulemana Tampuli has accused Attorney General Dr Dominic Ayini of exercising selective prosecutorial powers.

Tampuli alleged that the Attorney General is engaging in "Operation Clear All Loots," and also shielding former appointees of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration from accountability.

This scathing attack follows the Attorney General's announcement to drop charges against former Finance Minister Dr Kwabena Duffour and seven others.

Reacting to this development on Citi News on Tuesday, July 22 2025, Tampuli described the decision as part of the Attorney General's selective justice pattern, noting that Dr Ayini had previously dropped charges against members of the ruling party pursued by his predecessor.

Meanwhile, the Attorney General has pressed charges against some members of the previous Nana Addo administration, accusing them of corruption and financial embezzlement.

Tampuli criticized Dr Ayine's approach, stating that the focus has shifted from "accountability to impunity" and shielding appointees of the previous administration.

"We find this very worrying, especially given the background of Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL). What we're seeing today appears to be something akin to Operation Clear All Loots," Tampuli added
