The National Organiser of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kofi Adams, has condemned the Economic and Organised Crimes Office\u2019s (EOCO) handling of a case involving Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Engineers and Planners, Ibrahim Mahama, under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.<\/p>\n
He believes EOCO\u2019s decision to invite Mr. Ibrahim Mahama and interrogate him on accusations of financial malfeasance amounts to witch-hunting.<\/p>\n
Mr. Mahama was invited by EOCO and interrogated for over eight hours, reportedly over accusations that he had\u00a0issued 44 dud \u00a0cheques to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) as payment of duties at the port.<\/p>\n
The cheques were to offset debts incurred by two companies \u2013 MBG Limited and Holman Brothers \u2013 for the clearance of some heavy duty equipment at the Tema Port in 2015. Sources at EOCO said Mr. Mahama, the brother of former President John Mahama, had also been visiting the office on other charges.<\/p>\n
