Ghana's Attorney General, Dr.
Dominic Ayine, has come under intense scrutiny after discontinuing criminal charges against former Finance Minister Dr. Kwabena Duffuor and seven others over the collapse of UniBank. The AG defended his decision, citing a structured repayment deal that aims to recover about 60% of the bank's liabilities, arguing that asset recovery is preferable to a potentially empty court victory. Critics, including the parliamentary Minority and civil society, argue that this sets a dangerous precedent, undermines accountability, and could encourage financial misconduct. The AG maintains that full recovery was not feasible and that the settlement includes significant asset transfers and cash repayments.
The controversy has ignited national debate over justice, asset recovery, and the handling of high-profile financial crimes.
