According to the union \u201ccontrary to the impression being created by management over the years that the bank is doing well, our financials for 2014 indicates that the bank is fast sinking and urgent steps needs to be taken to salvage the dwindling fortunes of the bank\u201d.<\/p>\n

Management and board of the bank have also been accused by the union of selling the bank’s assets to cronies and among themselves.<\/p>\n

Management’s decision to also sell adb\u2019s headquarters for $10 million whilst it rents a new premises at GHC 1 million have also been criticized by the union.<\/p>\n

The Bank of Ghana is the second biggest shareholder of the bank.<\/p>\n

It currently holds 45 percent stake in the bank.<\/p>\n

The Bank of Ghana was expected to offload its stake in the bank during the bank’s Initial Public Offer (IPO).<\/p>\n

The IPO has however been put on hold to enable further consultations with stakeholders including UNICOF to be concluded.<\/p>\n
