IMANI Ghana is calling for the Dzamefe Commission’s report to be made public.
[contextly_sidebar id=”YNsGHVNXHkPhoQgpRJ9EFt8yrqZ2OOKD”]According to IMANI, making the report public will halt speculations about the findings of the commission.
The Dzamefe Commission of Inquiry was set up to investigate issues surrounding the Black Stars’ poor participation at the World Cup tournament in Brazil in 2014.
The Commission completed its work in September 2014 and but submitted its report and recommendations to the President on Tuesday.
A statement by IMANI’s president, Franklin Cudjoe argued that not releasing the report will make people “believe the rumors that indicted officials may be shielded.”
Below is the statement:
“Still finding it difficult to understand what the Dzamefe Commission meant by an implementation committee to deal with the findings of the World Cup brouhaha. It is even more curious that the commission hands over its report to the Attorney-General to study what exactly?”
As we all understood, no one against whom findings have been made would be prosecuted, so what exactly is the Attorney-General studying? It is NOT right to keep persons accused of deliberately misapplying funds sitting on tenterhooks for that long. Some will even believe the rumors that indicted officials may be shielded.
I will humbly ask the Dzamefe Commission to make the report public to we can all know what truly transpired, else I am at liberty to speculate that the Commission itself is not interested in the seeking finality to the issues. My final advice and quoting one-time American Presidential hopeful, Ross Perot that “if you see a snake, kill it. No need setting up a committee on snakes.” Good day.
