The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO)
yesterday picked up Kwadwo Twum-Boafo, immediate-past Executive Secretary of
the Ghana Free Zones Board under the erstwhile Mahama-led National Democratic
Congress (NDC) administration, for questioning.
A source told DAILY GUIDE that Mr Twum-Boafo went
to the head office of the EOCO in Accra at about 10 am and was subjected to
questioning until about 5pm before being released on bail; but his passport was
reportedly seized by the anti-graft body.
He was said to have ‘honoured’ the EOCO invitation
in the company of his lawyer, and he was asked to write a statement, which he
did.
It is unclear what sent him there, but a source said
it had to do with forensic audit report on the Free Zones Board; and the EOCO
has been brought in to investigate those who might be culpable for any
wrongdoing.
The audit report, which has been described as
‘stinky,’ is said to have captured the rot under Twum-Boafo - a very loquacious
NDC hatchet man.
DAILY
GUIDE understands that auditing of state institutions is
ongoing and the EOCO is playing a lead role in the effort.
Mr. Twum-Boafo, who is noted for the use of
intemperate language, especially on radio, was first appointed to the Free
Zones Board in an acting capacity by the late President John Evans Atta Mills
and was later given full endorsement by former President John Dramani Mahama on
April 11, 2013.
