Speaking at the 14th Commonwealth Regional Conference of Heads of Anti-corruption Agencies in Africa, Maame Yaa Tiwa Addo-Danquah, Executive Director of EOCO, emphasized their inability to proceed further.
Addo-Danquah stressed the importance of transparency, stating, "If you read the A-G’s advice, whatever that we would have done had already been directed at the police CID. When you investigate a case and you do not find anything, we should be bold enough to come and tell the public that for this case, even though I suspected this at the day, that wasn’t what came out; we should be bold the Ghanaian."
"What I am going to do is that with the A-G’s advice, I will send the docket that we received from the OSP to him that there is nothing in it," she added.
