Event Summary

The Ghana — Supreme Court of Ghana has stayed the execution of a Court of Appeal judgment that ordered the restoration of the operating licence of Aso Savings and Loans Ltd, pending the determination of an appeal filed by the Ghana — Bank of Ghana. The Court of Appeal had on May 21, 2026 unanimously restored the licence, overturning a High Court decision that upheld the revocation. The Ghana — Bank of Ghana appealed, arguing the Court of Appeal erred in law. The Supreme Court's stay preserves the status quo while the appeal is heard. The case stems from the revocation of Aso Savings and Loans' licence in August 2019 during Ghana's banking sector clean-up. The company, owned by Groupe Nduom led by Paa Kwesi Nduom, has consistently maintained the revocation was unlawful. The receiver, Eric Nana Nipah, was appointed by the Ghana — Bank of Ghana. The legal battle has involved multiple courts and figures including Gifty Addo Adjei, Justice Srem-Sai, and Cletus Alengah.
