BREAKING: Prez. Mahama appoints Daniel Domelevo as EOCO Board Chair

News coming in indicates that President John Dramani Mahama has named former Auditor-General and celebrated anti-corruption advocate, Daniel Yaw Domelevo, as the new Board Chairman of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

US-based Ghanaian legal scholar, Prof. Stephen Kwaku Asare, also known as Kwaku Azar took to his social media platform to break the news.

Mr. Domelevo’s return to public service follows his controversial exit in 2020 under the Akufo-Addo administration, which forced him to proceed on an extended leave.

His new role places him at the helm of EOCO, currently headed by investigative journalist Raymond Archer, to help steer the agency's mandate of combating economic and organised crime.

The Facebook post has sparked considerable public interest.

Many believe the appointment if true marks a significant moment in Ghana’s anti-corruption drive.
