Sammi Awuku warned that NDC appointees under President John Mahama must apply strict compliance in their roles, noting that current accountability processes could recur if political power shifts.

In a news card shared by UTV Ghana, Sammi Awuku was quoted to have said, “I am worried for NDC appointees under John Mahama. They may have to dot every “i” and cross every “t” because, just as we have accountability now, there may be accountability tomorrow”.

His comments follow the ongoing investigation involving Dennis Miracles Aboagye, who was arrested by EOCO some days ago.

Also, the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has broken its silence following the arrest of Dennis Miracles Aboagye.

According to EOCO, Miracles Aboagye’s arrest is linked to alleged financial and procurement-related irregularities involving about GH¢55 million when he was a former Executive Secretary of the Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation (IMCCoD).

EOCO disclosed that Dennis Miracles Aboagye is under investigation into the alleged misappropriation of approximately GH¢55 million in public funds.

They disclosed that the arrest follows a forensic audit and a petition submitted by the current Executive Secretary, prompting investigations into alleged financial and procurement irregularities at the Secretariat between August 1, 2022, and February 2, 2025.

Meanwhile, Samuel Atta Akyea, the lead counsel for Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has slammed the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over the bail conditions granted to Dennis Miracles Aboagye.

The lead counsel for Dennis Miracles Aboagye expressed his disappointment with the bail condition, suggesting that the GHC50m bail condition with three sureties slapped on his client could make his release difficult.

Atta Akyea questioned how Miracle Aboagye would be able to secure GH¢50 million in bail with three sureties within such a limited timeframe.

Speaking in an interview on Monday, July 13, 2026, Atta Akyea described Miracle Aboagye’s GH¢50m bail conditions as cruel and oppressive.

He stated, “Democracy and the rule of law have been reversed. A man who is not running away and is decent enough to go through Kotoka International Airport is arrested and has been detained all this while. I don’t believe that’s how we should conduct our affairs by treating him as if he’s a common criminal.

“The bail conditions are cruel and oppressive. At this very hour, they are about to exceed the 48 hours as enshrined in the Constitution”, he said.

“Where is this gentleman going to get three sureties for a GH¢50 million bail sum? The properties should be worth GH¢50 million, and two people should own such properties.

“How is he going to do it? So you can clearly see that the bail terms are cruel and are a way to punish him as well.

“How is he going to be released? How is he going to meet the bail conditions? In this critical hour, how is he going to find those sureties?” he added.
