Deputy AG Srem-Sai on why EOCO and not OSP is leading AKSA/Asante Berko bribery probe

Ghana's Deputy Attorney General, Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, has clarified the rationale behind the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) spearheading the local investigation into the AKSA bribery scandal. This explanation addresses why the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), typically involved in such high-profile corruption cases, is not leading this particular probe.

Dr. Srem-Sai's statement aims to provide transparency regarding the investigative process and the division of responsibilities between state agencies. The decision to assign the lead to EOCO suggests a specific strategic or jurisdictional consideration in the handling of the AKSA/Asante Berko bribery allegations.

This clarification is crucial for understanding the procedural aspects of the investigation and the roles of Ghana's anti-corruption bodies in addressing allegations of bribery and economic crimes. The public and stakeholders will be looking for a thorough and impartial investigation into the matter.
