- Citizens asked to share information on corruption and hidden properties
- EOCO, FIC, and OSP working together on anti-corruption efforts
- Journalists urged to understand and educate on anti-corruption laws
A senior official from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), Victoria Akegi Asamoah, is encouraging Ghanaians to actively support the fight against corruption by reporting suspicious activities and hidden assets to EOCO and its partner agencies.
Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Wednesday, July 2, during a segment titled “Corruption Watch: Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL)”, Madam Asamoah emphasized the importance of citizen participation in tackling corruption.
“The ordinary citizen is the reason we are here today. We need the public to share information because EOCO, the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC), and the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) cannot do it all alone,” she said.
She urged Ghanaians with knowledge of corrupt practices or undisclosed properties to come forward.
“We are appealing to everyone—if you know of any corrupt activities or assets being hidden, please report them to EOCO, FIC, or the OSP so that we can begin investigations,” she added.
Madam Asamoah also highlighted the critical role of the media in educating the public and dispelling misconceptions surrounding the work of anti-corruption agencies.
“It’s important that the media understand our legal mandates and help clarify the processes we follow. This way, the public won’t misinterpret legitimate prosecutions as politically motivated,” she explained.
She encouraged journalists to use their platforms to explain the legal frameworks governing institutions like EOCO and FIC, to promote transparency and public trust.
