Anti-corruption campaigner, Vitus Azeem, has called on President Akufo-Addo to invite the Deputy Director of the CID, ACP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah, over a leaked tape<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0on which she appears to suggest that the Police skewed its report on an investigation into allegations of corruption against some state officials to avoid embarrassing the government.<\/p>\n

According to him, granting the CID officer audience over the matter, will help to clear the minds of Ghanaians who seem unconvinced by the Police CID\u2019s report from the investigations against the two deputy chiefs of staff.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”uaYASvssEnw9EDr5MqiCmHR9ei1x4ifI”]\u201cIf the President is really serious about fighting corruption, since the voice tape said the fellow wished she could have access to the president to express her frustration, whether it is true or not, I\u2019m sure the President has heard that so to clear the minds of Ghanaians, the president should invite the policewoman and listen to her. I think that is the best approach\u2026. As the president, we trust him and we have confidence in him so whatever that conversation comes up with, if he puts it in the public domain, majority of Ghanaians will believe him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Eyewitness News<\/strong> on Thursday, Vitus Azeem also said the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), can launch an independent investigation into the matter to bring finality to it.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the conversations that have gone on, there appears to be some credibility gap that will need further questioning and investigations. CHRAJ too can on its own take the matter and investigate because it is an allegation of corruption,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A musician and sympathizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), A-Plus, last month made allegations of corruption against two presidential staffers, Francis Asenso-Boakye and Abu Jinapor, but they were\u00a0found to be baseless after the CID\u2019s investigations into the matter on President Akufo-Addo\u2019s instruction.<\/p>\n

But in a recently leaked audio recording of A-Plus and the Deputy CID Director, it appeared the police officer was advising A-Plus to deny the allegations because he is a member of the same party with the accused persons.<\/p>\n

However, a statement by the CID officer, ACP Addo-Danquah in reaction to the leaked tape, said it was doctored by A-Plus for an evil intent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish to categorically and emphatically state that, I have never intimated to A-plus in any conversation whatsoever, that I believe his allegation of corruption\u00a0against\u00a0the two senior government officials had been\u00a0confirmed\u00a0following our investigations,\u201d\u00a0ACP Addo-Danquah maintained in the statement.<\/p>\n
