Gov't finally releases GYEEDA report

Government says it has released the much publicized investigative committee report on the alleged financial malfeasance at GYEEDA.

According to government, the report has been released following a detailed study of the recommendations and punitive measures recommended by the initial investigative body and the PV Obeng Committee.

The report has been handed over to the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) and the AG’s department to investigative and prosecutes officials of GYEEDA who were indicted by the committee.

Government came under a deluge of criticism after it refused to make public the report after it was submitted to the president.

But addressing the media on Wednesday, a Deputy Minister of Information and Media Relations, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, said government aside the report has also released an action plan detailing the direction of the program henceforth.

He also noted that an interim supervisory board will be established to take charge of GYEEDA’s activities until proper administrative structures are put in place to determine the direction of the program.
