The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has already returned the docket regarding former Sanitation Minister Cecilia Dapaah, according to Samuel Appiah Darko, Director of Strategy, Research, and Communications at the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).
Mr. Darko refuted EOCO’s claims that it plans to return the docket, stating that it had already taken place to host Bernard Avle of the Citi Breakfast Show, which was broadcast on Citi FM this morning.
“Let me start with what EOCO said yesterday [Monday, May 6] that they were going to return the docket to the OSP, that is not accurate. They have long returned the docket to us with an explanation that they have been advised by the AG [Attorney General] not to investigate but remember, we did not say to prosecute, [to] investigate and so I don’t understand why EOCO will say they are now going to return the docket to OSP.”
“The second point I want to make is this whole idea that the docket that the OSP sent to EOCO was baseless and if you will indulge me, I am going to be a bit detailed, although we are not supposed to do this but our point is that if there is no appetite to want to investigate and prosecute, tell the people of Ghana that there is no appetite but don’t try to put the blame on the OSP.” Mr Darko said.
