EOCO Promotions Under Scrutiny: Adam Bona Raises Concerns
Security analyst Adam Bona has expressed concerns over recent promotions within the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO), suggesting that they may be an attempt by the outgoing EOCO Director, Maame Tiwaa Addo Danquah, to influence future investigations.
Bona's concerns were echoed during an interview on Metro TV's Good Morning Ghana show, where he questioned the timing of the promotions and the potential implications for future investigations. "As we speak, are you aware that when you go to EOCO they are doing promotions there, there are promotions currently ongoing at EOCO," he stated.
Bona's criticism of the promotions centers around the potential for obstruction of justice. He emphasized that the outgoing EOCO Director should not be appointing new officials, particularly a new Director of Investigations, who may be loyal to the previous administration. "How can you be exiting as EOCO Boss, Maame Tiwaa, and you're appointing a director of investigations so that if the new government has to investigate anything under your tenure, you would have your own person investigating you?" he asked.
Furthermore, Bona expressed concerns about the undermining of good governance, stating, "You can't approbate and reprobate. These things must be looked into and stopped by the Mahama administration; they undermine good governance".
In addition to his concerns about the EOCO promotions, Bona also reiterated his call for justice for ASP Jalil, who assaulted a police officer, DSP Nanka Bruce, at Jubilee House in 2017 during the NPP's victory celebrations. He criticized the previous administration for failing to hold ASP Jalil accountable for his actions.
The concerns raised by Adam Bona highlight the need for transparency and accountability in the appointment of officials, particularly in institutions responsible for investigating and prosecuting crime. The timing of the promotions and the potential for obstruction of justice are legitimate concerns that warrant further investigation and scrutiny.
In conclusion, the EOCO promotions have raised important questions about the potential for obstruction of justice and the undermining of good governance. Adam Bona's concerns are a timely reminder of the need for transparency and accountability in the appointment of officials, and the Mahama administration must take these concerns seriously to maintain public trust and confidence in the rule of law.
