Former MP Inusah Fuseini Questions Baffour Awuah's EOCO Boycott

Manhyia South Member of Parliament Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah has come under scrutiny for declining multiple invitations issued by the Economic and Organised Crime Office to respond to pending charges. Former Tamale Central legislator Inusah Fuseini expressed bewilderment at the refusal, emphasizing the obligation to engage with state investigative bodies.

Public apprehension regarding the MP’s evasion has intensified following his absence from a scheduled appearance before EOCO officials two days prior. Observers note the development reflects growing tensions between some parliamentary figures and anti-corruption oversight institutions in Ghana’s current accountability drive.

The refusal occurs within a broader context of heightened scrutiny on public officials facing corruption allegations, with activist groups and civil society urging transparency and compliance with due process. Former MP Fuseini stressed that honouring official invitations stands as a civic duty irrespective of political affiliations.

EOCO continues to pursue legal avenues to compel testimony while maintaining its mandate to investigate financial malfeasance. The unresolved standoff highlights ongoing challenges in enforcing accountability within Ghana’s politically sensitive public service landscape.
