In shedding light on the absence of legal action against Dr. Mensa Otabil for the Capital Bank collapse, Deputy Attorney-General Dominic Tua-Yeboah clarified the rationale behind the decision
Despite holding the position of board chairman at the bank, Dr. Otabil did not face prosecution, a move that has sparked controversy.
The fallout from the incarceration of Ato Essien, the former CEO of Capital Bank, fueled criticism directed at the Attorney-General. Some argue that Dr. Otabil’s perceived political connections shielded him from legal consequences.
This perspective gained traction, prompting private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu to advocate for an inquiry into Dr. Otabil’s role in the bank’s collapse.
People are wondering what happens to Mensa Otabil,”
The truth of the matter is that he is a powerful person so somehow there are biases. This amount is too colossal that we can’t say the board chair doesn’t have questions to answer, Legal Practitioner Kpebu said on the Key Points on TV3.
A-G decided not to prosecute Dr Mensa Otabil due to the unavailability of evidence to implicate him, Tua-Yeboah responded .
based on the investigations and evidence available way back in 2017, that was what we had but it’s not closed as long as it’s a criminal case, he made these remarks on TV3’s KeyPoints program.
The discourse intensifies as questions linger about why Dr. Mensa Otabil, a prominent figure in the International Central Gospel Church, was spared legal scrutiny amidst the fallout of Capital Bank.
The controversy unfolds against the backdrop of assertions that political affiliations may have influenced the decision-making process within the legal domain.
