Security analyst Dr Adam Bonaa has urged the Speaker of Parliament to initiate an inquiry into the actions of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) concerning the recent controversy surrounding the discovery of a significant sum of money at the residence of former minister, Cecilia Dapaah.
Dr Bonaa alleges that EOCO passively allowed the warrant authorising the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to retain the funds to expire, subsequently returning the money to Cecelia Dapaah without conducting a thorough investigation into the matter.
In a social media video, the security analyst emphasised the necessity for a bipartisan parliamentary investigation into EOCO's handling of the incident.
He believes such an inquiry would shed light on EOCO's actions and other pertinent issues within the anti-fraud agency.
“I’m calling on the Right Hon. Speaker of Parliament to institute a probe into the Cecelia Dapaah cash saga. I have a feeling EOCO is not telling us the truth. I now can say with certainty that EOCO has also become the headquarters of corruption."
"There’s the need to investigate what happened between these two institutions under the executive; EOCO and Special Prosecutor are all under the Attorney General, and so to have EOCO being handed the file to investigate this under money laundering which falls under them, and to have them come back to tell us that they couldn’t do anything about it is mind-boggling, and so as citizen and not a spectator I will ask Parliament to institute a probe into them,”he noted.
He emphasised that numerous issues are occurring within EOCO that are yet to be disclosed to the Ghanaian public, expressing hope that a thorough investigation will bring these matters to light.
“There are a lot of things going on at EOCO that some of us find unfortunate. The boss of EOCO is not telling Ghanaians the truth, she is telling us half-truths about the money we are talking about.”
In the past week, both the EOCO and the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) have been embroiled in a public dispute regarding their roles in investigating the origins of a significant sum of money discovered in the residence of the former Sanitation Minister.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor has openly criticised EOCO, alleging that the organisation lacks the motivation to thoroughly investigate the situation.
