The Executive Director of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), COP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah, has paid a day’s familiarization visit to the Bono East Region during which she engaged regional heads of security agencies, among others.
She first paid a courtesy call on the Regional Minister, Kwasi Adu-Gyan, in Techiman, the regional capital, after which she visited the Omanhene of Techiman, Oseadeyo Akumfi Ameyaw IV, who is also a Member of the Council of State.
Oseadeyo Akumfi Ameyaw IV thanked Maame Tiwaa for the visit, and wished her well in all that she came to the region to do.
Ponzi schemes
The Omanhene appealed to her to take adequate steps to crack down on Ponzi schemes, which he observed were gaining grounds in some parts of the country as they mostly end up defrauding unsuspecting Ghanaians of their hard-earned monies.
He reminded her of the harm caused by similar schemes in the past to people, and called for a swift action to avert their recurrence in any part of the country.
Mr. Kwasi Adu-Gyan, the Regional Minister, observed that Maame Tiwaa’s visit would deepen the decentralization efforts of her outfit and the government as a whole.
He said her visit would go a long way to make the regional offices more effective, and pledged the full commitment of the Bono East Regional Co-ordinating Council’s support toward EOCO at all times.
