President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe has suggested that the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) and National Security be shut down and their roles outsourced to Manasseh Azure Awuni and Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
Mr. Cudjoe who seems impressed with the jobs being done by the two award winning investigative journalists and their efforts in fighting corruption, wants them to benefit from the Consolidated Fund with a monthly allowance of GHC30,000 each.
The IMANI Boss’ comments follow the release of the ‘Galamsey Fraud’ undercover piece and the ‘Militia in the heart of the Nation’ by Anas and Manasseh respectively.
Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ latest documentary, revealed how men mandated to help government manage the illegal mining menace are undermining the fight leaving Ghana at the mercy of mercenary miners and monstrous money-grabbers within the corridors of power.
Presidential Staffer who was the Secretary to the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining, Charles Cromwell Bissue abused his office to enrich himself by engaging in bribery and corruption as disclosed in the documentary.
The ‘Militia in the heart of the Nation’ undercover work carried out by Manasseh Azure Awuni, exposes a pro-NPP militia group, De-Eye training at the Christiansborg Castle in Osu.
The group, according to the report, is being led by a former bodyguard of President Akufo-Addo and has been operating for the past two years.
Manasseh found that the group had already provided security for a number of government functions of which the president had taken part in, a claim that has been denied by government.
In a Facebook post, Franklin Cudjoe who may have come to accept that the two undercover journalists can help government fight corruption, does not see the need for the existence of the EOCO, National Security and the office of prosecutions.
According to him, “We should shut down EOCO and the National Security and outsource their work to these two men. And then privatise the office of Prosecutions/ Ministry of Justice.”
Below is Franklin Cudjoe’s Facebook post
Time to put the likes of Manasseh Azure Awuni and Anas Aremeyaw Anas on the Consolidated Fund and each paid 30k a month . We should shut down EOCO and the National Security and outsource their work to these two men. And then privatise the office of Prosecutions/ Ministry of Justice. Finally, we should sell all publicly owned prisons and hand over their management to me. If you all agree, let us say prayers in Churches, Mosques, Shrines and oh, the Cathedral which will live in our hearts.

Is this the most sensible statement to make? As a tink tank chief executive, one would have expected you to provide solutions and suggestions to.make those investigative bodies more effecient and effective. The Eoco and national security and The CID are the bodies mandated by law and the constitution to perform those duties. If you, Franklin want certain personalities to take up those responsibilities, then call for a constitutional review. Untill this is done then your call is vague and childish. Tink Tankers are supposed to provide responsible ideas to strenghen the methodology of organisations and their personnel and not make elimination by substitution.
I WEEP FOR FRANKLIN, HE IS ALREADY IRRELEVANT, WHAT IS HE THINK-TANKING. A PERSON WHO LACK CRITICAL THINKING WILL ALWAYS JUMP INTO CONCLUSION ON HEARSAY AND THAT IS FRANKLIN FOR YOU - HE IS LAZY TO FISH FOR THE TRUTH HENCE HIS IRRELEVANCE.
are you a normal person ?this Anas criminal act
Please speak like an intellectual
This man is he normal???
I have always maintained that Franklin is senseless,immature, a disgrace to intelectuals. The national security must either ban this ***barred word*** or take total control of these boys before matters get out of hand, its dangerous for the country. these guys can not be trusted with classified info, we clearly dont know their alise. Imagine if they sell clarified infomation to our opponents? Just imagine. With so much power in their hands they can make and unmake the countries destiny, even worse, they are being financed by the international community. Simply logic, just think about it.
EOCO works for Menzgold only so it better to shut it down because it does not operate any longer and not very effective
Good suggestion I think you have include NDC female MP's to collect intelligence reports
Frank Cudjoe, are you serious, these are some of the arm chair researchers we have in this country, what do know about security issues, please don’t expose your ignorance
Reading the comments below, i now understand why ken agyepong referred to all npp members as fuulls. None of the comments below make sense. Instead of addressing the issues raised by Franklin cudjoe they are attacking his person and his family. Nppfo na gimi!
