Political commentator and policy analyst Senyo Hosi says the decisions surrounding the SIC settlement at the centre of the Baffour Awuah case could amount to criminal negligence if investigators establish that public officials failed in their duty to protect state assets.

Political commentator Senyo Hosi says the investigation involving Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah should focus on the institutions and their decision-makers rather than centring on the lawyer involved in the SIC settlement.

Lawyer Vickie Bright says the key question surrounding the GHC5 million settlement involving SIC Life Savings and Loans is whether it was properly authorised.

Activist Senyo Hosi has warned that the investigation involving Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah could lose public credibility if it is seen as politically motivated.

Lawyer Vickie Bright has said the payment of legal fees in the Baffour Awuah case should not by itself be treated as evidence of a crime without proof of criminal intent.
