The Executive Secretary of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), Raymond Archer, has defended the ongoing investigations into the PDS saga, characterizing the process as thorough, professional, and methodical. Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile programme on Saturday, May 9, he asserted that EOCO’s actions are strictly guided by evidence and due process, addressing heightened public interest in the prolonged probe.
Context of the PDS Saga and Anti-Corruption Efforts
Mr. Archer’s remarks arrive as Ghana intensifies its anti-corruption drive. Recent arrests connected to the PDS case have reignited scrutiny over alleged financial irregularities tied to transactions involving the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG). This renewed focus has also seen the re-arrest of a former NAFCO boss shortly after initial charges were withdrawn, prompting legal and constitutional discussions regarding prosecutorial conduct.
