General News of Friday, 11 June 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comMember of Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has described the Bank of Ghana’s decision to turn down an invitation to meet Parliament’s Probing Committee as disrespectful and acting above the law. Prince Kofi Amoabeng and Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, owners of defunct UT Bank and uniBank respectively, petitioned Parliament to probe the Central Bank on why their banking licences were withdrawn. The Bank of Ghana was later invited to appear before Parliament’s Probing Committee to ascertain how UT Bank and Unibank were collapsed. However, the legal counsel for the bank wrote to parliament insisting that they would not appear before parliament. Reacting to the response by the Bank of Ghana, the MP for South Dayi Constituency claims that the Central Bank was pitching itself as above the law and disobeyed the Speaker of Parliament.
