This Sunday's edition of JoyNews' The Law will delve into the recent decisions by the Attorney-General to withdraw charges in several high-profile financial cases.
Notably, former Second Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Pandit Asiama, who faced trial for his alleged role in the collapse of UniBank and UT Bank, has been cleared of all charges.
Similarly, former COCOBOD CEO, Dr. Stephen Opuni, has seen legal proceedings against him discontinued. In another significant move, charges have been dropped against Minority Leader Cassiel Ato Forson and businessman Richard Jakpa in the high-profile ambulance procurement case.
What prompted these sudden acquittals, and what are the legal and political implications?
Guest to join in the discussion is Bobby Banson, a seasoned lawyer from the Robert Smith Law Group and author.
