Cecilia Dapaah scandal: We provided EOCO with every necessary information – OSP

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has maintained that it provided the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) with the requisite information necessary to initiate an investigation into former Sanitation Minister Cecilia Dapaah.

This assertion comes in response to EOCO’s claim that the OSP did not collaborate effectively, hindering a smooth investigation process.

However, in response, the Director of Strategy, Research, and Communications at the OSP, Samuel Appiah Darko, stated that EOCO cannot shift blame onto the OSP for their failure to investigate Cecilia Dapaah.

Speaking on Eyewitness News with Umaru Sanda on Citi FM, Mr. Darko clarified that every piece of information that needed to have been given to EOCO was given.

“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.”
