Discontinuation of UniBank Case Creates Avenue to Loot

NPP member Kwadwo Poku argues that the Attorney‑General’s decision to discontinue the UniBank criminal case—based on the 60% recovery threshold—creates an avenue for looting, as it undermines accountability and may embolden misuse of public funds. What We FoundSpeaking on JoyNews Newsfile on July 26, 2025, Poku criticised the AG’s use of nolle prosequi in the high‑profile UniBank case involving Dr. Kwabena Duffuor and seven others. He warned that halting prosecution despite some recovery sends the message that misconduct can go unpunished once pledges are fulfilled. He insisted that retrieval of misappropriated funds is not enough. According to Poku: “What we should remember… is that we are now creating an avenue for loot… Because when people realize that you can take enough [and] do anything that you want to do… it is sad.”He added that indictment and prosecution must follow alleged wrongdoing, […]

Ato Forson: Akufo‑Addo Govt Mismanaged Devastating DDEP
