Criminal Investigations Department<\/strong><\/span><\/a> (CID) into allegations of corruption leveled against two Deputy Chiefs of Staff, Francis Asenso-Boakye and Abu Jinapor.<\/p>\nThe allegations were made by musician and NPP sympathizer, A-Plus in a Facebook post earlier this week.<\/p>\n
A-Plus was invited by the CID alongside Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong, over the separate allegations of corruption against some government officials.<\/p>\n
According to Dr. Manteaw, the situation where every change of government is accompanied by a change in the top level management of state institutions will not promote the fight against corruption as such investigations may not be done professionally.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo the extent that we have actually politicized the institutions, we cannot expect the level of professionalism that should be required of any state security agency. Let\u2019s be mindful of the fact that the heads of these institutions have been appointed by the current administration so there is always the likelihood that they will pander to the interest of this administration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should end the useless politicization of our state institutions. I don\u2019t think that the heads of state security agencies should necessarily be appointed by the political authority of the day. I will welcome a situation where they are appointed through a competitive process so they remain loyal regardless of which government is in power. Not just security agencies, but all state agencies so that they can do their work professionally,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Dr. Manteaw has described as commendable, steps taken by President Akufo Addo in addressing the allegations of corruption leveled against the two deputy chiefs of staff.<\/p>\n
According to him, the president\u2019s directive to the Criminal Investigations Department to investigate the allegations gives an indication of his readiness to root out corruption even within his government.<\/p>\n
