Raymond Archer has made EOCO a one-man institution - Afenyo-Markin
Raymond Archer has been accused of running the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in a highly centralised manner, according to Alexander Afenyo-Markin, who stated that "Raymond Archer has made EOCO a one-man institution." Afenyo-Markin spoke on JoyNews' *Newsfile* programme on Saturday, May 9.
Afenyo-Markin raised concerns about governance, accountability and institutional balance within EOCO. His remarks come against the backdrop of the ongoing legal controversy involving former National Food Buffer Stock Company Chief Executive Officer Abdul-Wahab Hanan and his wife, Faiza Sayyid Wuni. Lawyers for the couple, led by former Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame, have alleged that they were denied access to their clients for over 24 hours following the re-arrest.
EOCO has maintained that all procedures were followed in accordance with the law as investigations continue into the matter. Afenyo-Markin cautioned that "strong institutions must not be reduced to the will of one individual," stressing the need for transparency, oversight and adherence to due process in the work of anti-corruption agencies.
