The Member of Parliament for\u00a0Kumawu, Philip Basoah has said that he intends to petition the leadership of Parliament to conduct a separate probe into the case of the missing GHs480,000 from the Electoral Commission (EC)\u2019s Endowment Fund.<\/p>\n
According to the MP, the allegations made public by the Economic Organised Crime Office (EOCO) who stated they were conducting an investigation<\/strong><\/a> into the country’s election supervisory body were unfortunate.<\/p>\n Three senior officials of the Commission; \u00a0Deputy Chairperson in-charge of\u00a0Finance and Administration, Georgina Opoku Amankwah, Chief Accountant, Kwaku Owusu Agyei-Larbi and \u00a0Finance Officer, Joseph Kwaku Asamoah were asked to proceed on leave as investigations proceed.<\/p>\n Despite EOCO’s ongoing investigations, the Kumawu MP believes that given the fact that the Special Budget Committee of Parliament has oversight responsibility, it was imperative that they probe the matter as well.<\/p>\n
