Ghana's Attorney General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has discontinued the high-profile prosecution of former Finance Minister Dr. Kwabena Duffuor and seven others over the collapse of UniBank. The AG defended the move, citing a structured asset recovery deal that aims to recoup about 60% of the lost funds, arguing that partial recovery is preferable to a lengthy trial with uncertain outcomes. Critics, including opposition MPs and legal experts, have condemned the decision, warning it sets a dangerous precedent and undermines accountability. The Minority in Parliament has threatened legal action if the decision is not reversed, while public debate rages over whether justice or asset recovery should be prioritized. The controversy has ignited calls for greater transparency and a national conversation on handling financial crimes and state asset recovery.
