Eugene Boakye Antwi is the former Subin MP
The former Member of Parliament for Subin, Eugene Boakye Antwi, has strongly expressed his displeasure and criticism over the Attorney General’s decision to drop charges against accused individuals in the uniBank case.
Appearing on the July 29, 2025, edition of Kokrokoo on Peace FM, the former lawmaker accused the Attorney General of dropping charges against individuals who are affiliated with his political party.
He questioned why the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Chairman Wontumi, was detained without charges, while others against whom incriminating evidence exists have been let off the hook and allowed to walk free.
“… Is Wontumi not human? You detained him without charges, yet those for whom evidence shows clear involvement in a crime have been set free,” he questioned.
According to him, the Attorney General should have allowed the uniBank case to be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction and given its verdict, rather than dropping the charges after recovering 60% of the assets.
Boakye Antwi further raised concerns about the dangerous precedent that dropping high-profile criminal cases could set for the country.
He warned that such actions risk eroding public trust and sending a message that individuals can embezzle state funds without facing consequences.
“If we drop all high-profile cases in the country, people’s trust in the state takes a hit even among NDC supporters. We should allow for cases to be determined by courts and not by the Attorney General. The persons involved are his party members, when he is busily pursuing others who are non-party members. Won’t another party also come to discontinue what he started? We as politicians must be careful and not try to defend what is indefensible,” he said.
“We should have allowed for a court to try the case and determine the verdict. With what has happened, it sends a signal to others that they can come and misappropriate state funds, return a percentage to the state and walk free. Accountability is not revenge but a responsibility and it must be consistent. Ghanaians don’t want arrests but answers,” he added.
