The Minority in Parliament has issued a strong warning to the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, over his decision to discontinue the criminal prosecution of former finance minister, Dr Kwabena Duffuor, and seven others.
Addressing the media in Parliament on Monday, July 28, Minority Spokesperson and Ranking Member on the Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee, who is also the MP for Asante Akim Central, Kwame Ayimadu-Antwi, described the move as a dangerous erosion of justice and a worrying politicisation of the prosecutorial process.
The Attorney General had filed a nolle prosequi to halt the trial, citing the recovery of 60% of the funds involved in the UniBank case and the legal complexities surrounding the matter.
According to him, this decision aligns with ongoing asset recovery efforts.
