Oliver Barker‑Vormawor, political activist and frequent commentator on national affairs, has sharply criticised the handling of the Unibank case, asserting that Ghana has grown accustomed to political elites escaping accountability.
Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile programme on Saturday, 2 August, he stated that the case exemplifies systemic impunity.
“Unibank case: it seems we’ve grown accustomed to elites getting away with crimes,” he declared, lamenting the perceived lack of consequences for powerful individuals implicated in financial scandal.
Barker‑Vormawor emphasised that the Unibank controversy underscores a troubling pattern—one where ordinary citizens face stringent enforcement, while elites benefit from protracted legal processes or dropped charges.
He warned this disparity erodes public trust and undermines institutional credibility: “When the powerful can navigate the justice system with impunity, you lose faith in governance itself.”
Mr Barker-Vormawor also called on the Attorney‑General’s Department and the courts to handle the matter with transparency, urging swift adjudication following the rule of law.
