I can't help but agree with the suggestion coming from Musa Dankwa. Recovery of looted assets is more beneficial to the state, than imprisonment. Also, the law of causing financial loss should be reviewed and amended to stop malicious political motivated prosecutions.

The Constitution frowns on retroactive laws. New laws cannot punish old crimes, please.

What do you mean by politically appointed judges? There are laws guiding appointment of judges aren't there?

@Mensa are you thinking right.What was Nana Addo doing all these 8 years and if anyone including JM needed to be prosecuted he would have done it with glee. JM is now in power he must do what must be done.

So are you saying that considering the current laws we have in place now an individual can steal from us Scot free. I beg to differ. All crimes against the people of Ghana are PUNISHABLE BY LAW.

Opinions are like coughs, we all get them from time to time!

I think that is a nonsensicality with no merit which must be tossed into the dustbin without a second thought!

You see the stupidity? You are now thinking of the law to use to prosecute people alleged to have committed crimes? Fools abound. If you don’t have any laws to prosecute your alleged offenders, just shut your stinking mouth. You want to behave like the PNDC that used ethnicity and hatred to murder people. After all criminals have been freed by the Attorney General. No reasons were given for the decision to discontinue those CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS. And you have been given the media space to spew rubbish. Nonsense

Musah Danquah: The legal question is:

Can that law be applied retrospectively to incidents that predate the enactment of such a law?

Mr Dankwa, what you are saying is correct , but the law is not RETROACTIVE. The law enacted now cannot look BACKWARD. Therefore they should use existing laws to prosecute them! We have sufficient laws to do that!

As a layperson my only question is can someone be charged with an offence that did not exist at the time it was supposed to have been committed?
Let us be careful not to create laws to suit a particular group of people.

Good advice. Government must ensure the necessary legal amendments are in place otherwise cases can drag for the nex 4 years and beyond like the Cocobod Opuni case.
