EOCO IS THE HEADQUARTERS OF CORRUPTION IN GHANA – Security Expert, Adam Bonaa

Security and safety analyst, Dr. Adam Bonaa, has raised allegations of dishonesty and corruption within the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

Dr. Bonaa, speaking on the impasse between EOCO and the Office of the Special Prosecutor over investigations into former Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Dapaah, openly questioned the integrity of EOCO’s operations.

“Hello, I am Adam Bonaa, a citizen of this country and not a spectator, as the president enjoined us to be some time ago. I am using this media to invite Parliament and, by extension, the Right Honourable Speaker of Parliament, to institute a probe into the Cecilia Dapaah cash saga.

“I have a feeling EOCO is not telling us the truth, and I can say with certainty that EOCO has now become the headquarters of corruption. There is a need to investigate what happened between these two institutions under the executive.

“These two institutions, EOCO and the Special Prosecutor, are both under the Attorney General’s office, and so to have EOCO handed over the file to investigate a money laundering issue, which comes under them, and to have EOCO come back and later tell us that they couldn’t do anything about it, if you ask me, it is mind-boggling. As a citizen and not a spectator, I would ask the Right Honourable Speaker and, by extension, Parliament, to institute a probe. That is the only way we would know,” he stated.

Dr. Bonaa, who alluded to potential undisclosed activities within EOCO, made a direct appeal to the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, to not only initiate a probe but also to extend its terms of reference, potentially encouraging more Ghanaians to provide information.

In a direct accusation, Dr Bonaa called out the Executive Director of EOCO, COP Maame Tiwaa, for not being fully transparent with the Ghanaian people, demanding that she disclose the full details of the case involving the money found at Madam Dapaah’s residence and its connection to the Special Prosecutor.

“There are a lot of things that are going on in EOCO that some of us find very unfortunate, and probably if these things begin to unfold, maybe if the speaker is minded to give an extended terms of reference, which is not to say that I know what is going to happen, but if the speaker would do this, I believe that we are going to have Ghanaians come out and tell the committee, if there is to be a bipartisan probe, what they know,” he added.

The OSP had previously investigated Cecilia Dapaah for corruption and related offences after her housekeepers were charged with stealing substantial amounts of monies and valuables from her house.

Despite the extensive investigation, the OSP discontinued the case and transferred the docket to EOCO, which, after advice from the Attorney General’s office, decided to return the file to the OSP.
