Captain smart along with hundreds of anti-corruption protestors have presented over 300 documents to EOCO, alleging embezzlement to the tune of about $1.2 billion.
He explained that the investigations and documents gathered were based on the Auditor-General’s report from 2015.
Presenting the documents to some officials of EOCO, Captain smart expressed his frustrations at the extent to which the canker had eaten into the fibre of public service.
He indicated that this is the beginning of the fight against corruption and urged EOCO to start working on the documents so as to obtain immediate result.
“Mothers are dying and fathers are running from homes, not because they are irresponsible but because some people have taken our money, the money that belongs to us. The money that could have been used to develop the country. I do not understand why every administration comes and borrows money before Ghana will be developed” he stated.
“Today, these documents contain embezzlement of over $1.2 billion. I am presenting these to you, the names are there. Please, reinvestigate, arrest and prosecute and take our monies for us.” he added
Officials of EOCO who received the documents on behalf of the organisation expressed gratitude that individuals and Civil Society Organisations have awakened and joined the fight against corruption.
The assurance was given that the documents will be reviewed and actions taken against anyone found guilty.
Officials of EOCO also revealed that the Akufo-Addo led administration has shown enough goodwill to prosecute persons who are found guilty of corruption or embezzlement.
“The fact that Civil Society bodies have realised the need to join the fight against corruption is cardinal…We have taken possession of the materials you have given us which could be a very good basis of enquiry and investigation.”
“We can only assure you that we will do a very decent, diligent investigation. You are equally assured that EOCO has the support of higher authority in this fight and we will do just that” Officials noted.
Captain Smart revealed that EOCO has been given a timeline of three months within which to take drastic actions against offending public officials.
He also hinted of similar demonstrations in Ashanti and Eastern Regions in the coming months.

I just bought some roasted groundnuts and some of the documents were used as the wrapping paper. Hahahaha
EOCO, Look at these comments and prove the people wrong, otherwise its an indictment on your institution and the personalities. Captain, well done together with the people who joined. God BLESS you all. People are dying of hunger, yet others are grabbing monies meant for all of us. They forget that monies you dont struggle for can not be sustained.
DKumasi It is extremely amazing and outrageous that a character like Captain Smart of Adom TV & FM could be leading a crusade against corruption in Ghana. Captain Smart himself epitomizes corruption. Whiles in Kumasi the way he tormented personalities for bribe money failure which he will go on air to degrade and denigrate them. He comes to you demanding you give him bribe or you will hear from him on radio. Many innocent people in Kumasi suffered from this corrupt person called Captain Smart. In fact we all support Nana fully to fight corruption but not with the likes of Captain Smart who is a symbol of corruption. Captain Smart 'fighting'corruption indeed.!!!!! He should be the first person to be prosecuted
I do not trust EOCO one bit. My only hope is in the special prosecutor. EOCO, Tweaaaaaaaaaa Opuni goes there and chit chat and laugh and sign him out. Our country is doomed! ***barred word*** and murderers. How can one person steal $40,000,000? how greedy can one be?
At least he is acting in the interest of the nation n generations yert unborn. It's a good start for us the youth that there s is in Ghana.
CAPTAIN GO AND APOLOGIZED TO THE MAN YOU SNATCH HIS WIFE FROM HIM,YOUR WICKED MAN THAN THE PEOPLE YOUR MAKING DEMO AGAINST THEM,IF I HEAR FROM YOU TALKING AT RADIO,I JUST BECOME ANGRY,***barred word*** MAN.
Hahaha maseree saaa !!! These documents will be used as toilet papers. EOCO themselves are more corrupt than the word itself.
