The Director of Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) has called on Ghanaians to cooperate with his outfit and assist them in their investigations. Mr. Mortey Akpadzi appealed to Ghanaians to volunteer vital information that will help the Office come out with appropriate results regarding the rot in the Ghana Youth Employment and Entrepreneurial Development Agency (GYEEDA). He assured the informants that their "identity will be kept confidential. We want any piece of information that can assist us. We would wish people didn�t just speculate. We would wish people could come to us with concrete information or even indications�We don�t expect people to bring us proofs.� Speaking to Radio Gold, he also pledged his outfit's commitment to unearth the truth in the GYEEDA report. �It�s important not only to our outfit but to Ghana as a whole because it involves suspected malfeasance. All Ghana has read some report that appeared on the internet, although from what we have seen, it�s not the same report. There�s genuine concern about knowing the truth of the matter and His Excellency is concerned to know the truth; and it�s our duty to provide His Excellency with what the facts are and not speculations.� he stated. President John Mahama, in his attempt to fight corruption in the agency, tasked the EOCO to look into the report. The report which indicted several persons and courted controversy in the country was referred to the EOCO for further investigations to be held to name and shame the culprits. So far, 12 persons have reportedly been arrested by the office and granted bail as investigations continue.
