EOCO grills NDC’s Twum Boafo, seizes his passport

A former Executive Secretary of the Free Zones Board, Kojo Twum Boafo, has been interrogated by officials of the Economic Organised Crime Office, [EOCO], and his passport seized.

According to Citi News’ Fred Djabanor, Mr. Twum Boafo was interrogated for several hours today [Monday], and was only released after 5:00pm.

According to Djabanor, although details of the probe are sketchy, suggestions are that, it has become necessary after some investigative bodies carried out a forensic audit of the Free Zones Board following his exit.

Mr. Twum Boafo, a known vociferous member of the NDC, was appointed to head the Free Zones Board by for President John Mahama in 2013, after he had served in an acting capacity at that state agency.

At the time, suggestions were that, Mr. Mahama had a close working relationship with Mr. Twum Boafo throughout the four years of the Mills-Mahama administration.

The New Patriotic Party administration has repeatedly stated that, it is working on prosecuting officials of the former NDC administration, who may have been involved in one corrupt act or the other.

The NDC, including its former leader, John Mahama, has also dared the government to go ahead and crack the whip, and do same with corrupt officials in the current government.

John Mahama also asked NDC members to support his former appointees who may be prosecuted by the government.

“Recently, President Akuffo Addo was threatening members of our administration with prosecution when he visited the Eastern Region and I said yes, we are prepared to accept the probity of our tenure in office. Having been the disciples of probity and accountability, we must not run away from probity and accountability, we must be prepared to face any prosecution that this government throws to us, but we must do this with commitment and solidarity. Solidarity with our colleagues who will fall foul of the law because the law says you are innocent until proven guilty by competence and justice of the court, and so we cannot pronounce our colleagues guilty on the basis of allegations by the NPP” John Mahama said.

He added that, “They will have their day in court and until they have that day in court, it is our duty to solidarize with them to make sure they have the best legal representation to be able to put their case in order, and it is my wish that things will turn out well for them.”
