The Economic and Organized Crimes Office (EOCO) for the sake of mother Ghana, has come out to say, it will investigate every case related to embezzlement and vanish of monies from the purse of Ghana; as the Host of Adom FM’s Morning Show, ‘Dwaso Nsem’, Captain Smart leads tens of tens of thousands of Ghanaians from Accra and beyond to present a petition to the Economic and Organized Crimes Office (EOCO) today, calling for investigation and prosecution of persons named in various reports especially the Auditor General’s report.
The demonstration is organized by Adom FM, a leading media brand in Ghana’s multimedia Group, and it is targeted at knowing the where about of Ghana’s money and also to raise awareness on the high rate of corruption in the country especially among state actors. The theme of the demonstration is, “WE NEED OUR MONEY”
The demonstration was given a green light by the Greater Accra Regional Police Commander, ASP Afia Tengey who spoke on Adom FM’s Morning Show on Wednesday 24 MAY, 2017.
“We have received notifications from Multimedia Group and the organizers of the demonstration, they have satisfied all the requirements in the Public Order Act and hence, we would be there to provide security for the peaceful walk against corruption…,” she confirmed
An illegal act by an officeholder constitutes political corruption only if the act is directly related to their official duties, is done under color of law or involves trading in influence.
Despite Ghana’s good governance and democratic credentials, corruption still remains cancerous in the country.
Currently, Ghana can concretely say, corruption in the country is not just a mere perception but inherently pervasive as evidenced by the recent exposé of the Auditor General.
The economic loss suffered by Ghana because of corruption is enormous, and Ghanaians cannot develop as a nation if this current Government don’t work hand in hand with EOCO to find the where about of some monies.
Apart from the fact that, embezzlement retards economic growth, development and investments; it also creates an income inequality gap between the rich and the poor, which adversely set the poor to suffers
