EOCO: Anti-graft institution recovers GHS 27m for State

The executive director of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) COP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah has said her outfit will step up its effort in recovering monies due the state from next year.

The assurance comes after Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta announced that EOCO retrieved GHC27.55 million from proceeds of crime; monies that would have been lost to the state in 10 months. 

The amount is a record high for EOCO compared to an average of about five million Ghana cedis in previous years.

Speaking on the achievement, the EOCO boss said she was grateful to her management team and all officers of EOCO who made this great feat possible.

COP Addo-Danquah said EOCO will also improve on its recoveries, sensitisation programmes on cybercrimes, gaming and its outreach programmes to markets, communities and religious institutions in the coming days.
