The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) maintains that it provided the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) with all the necessary information to initiate an investigation into former Sanitation Minister Cecilia Dapaah.
This statement comes in response to EOCO‘s claim that the OSP did not collaborate effectively, which hindered a smooth investigation process.
However, the Director of Strategy, Research, and Communications at the OSP, Samuel Appiah Darko, has refuted EOCO’s assertion, stating that EOCO cannot blame the OSP for their failure to investigate Cecilia Dapaah.
During an interview on Eyewitness News with Umaru Sanda on Citi FM, Mr. Darko clarified that every piece of information required by EOCO was provided by the OSP.
“We had a standing committee. Every information that we had and we needed to give to EOCO, the OSP gave to EOCO. And the standing committee that has been working between OSP and EOCO, there are unofficial communications between OSP and EOCO.
“What I am trying to tell you is that EOCO said they want the findings of our work on corruption but you don’t need that because everything has already been kept in the file.”
