Security analyst Dr. Adam Bona has urged the Speaker of Parliament to launch an investigation into the actions of the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) amidst the ongoing controversy surrounding the discovery of money at the residence of former Minister Cecilia Dapaah.

Dr. Bona criticized EOCO for allegedly returning the money to Cecilia Dapaah without conducting a thorough investigation after the expiration of the warrant issued by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).

In a recorded video, the security analyst emphasized the importance of a bipartisan parliamentary inquiry to uncover the truth behind EOCO's conduct and other 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”.

“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,” he noted

Expressing concern over alleged misconduct at EOCO, Dr. Bona highlighted the need for transparency and accountability, particularly regarding the handling of the Cecilia Dapaah cash saga.

He called for scrutiny into the relationship between EOCO and the Office of the Special Prosecutor, both of which operate under the Attorney General's purview, questioning why EOCO failed to take action despite being tasked with investigating potential money laundering.

Dr. Bona underscored the significance of shedding light on undisclosed activities at EOCO through a thorough probe, emphasizing the importance of citizen engagement in promoting accountability.

The public exchange between EOCO and the Office of the Special Prosecutor in recent weeks has fueled speculation and calls for greater scrutiny into their respective roles in investigating the origins of the substantial sum of money discovered at the former Sanitation Minister's residence.
