Indexing government scandals one at a time
The Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO), has suspended its Eastern Regional Director, Fred Dzeny for asking President Akufo-Addo to show leadership in the fight against corruption by prosecuting corrupt officials within his government.
Mr. Dzeny, according to an earlier publication by Starr News is said to have suggested the fight against corruption will only be successful if the ruling government “prosecute their own corrupt officials before they prosecute their political opponents”.
“The ruling government should be ready first and foremost to prosecute their own when the slightest incident of corruption is raised against the ruling government then they can also get the guts to prosecute the opposition,” the EOCO official is quoted to have said on the side-lines of a roundtable discussion on ‘The Youth in the Fight Against Corruption in Ghana” held in Koforidua.
