The former Deputy Attorney-General Joseph Kpemka has been questioned by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over his alleged involvement in over $US$800,000 BOST ‘fraud’.
According to reports, Joseph Kpemka was invited by EOCO on Thursday, September 10, 2026, and was subsequently granted bail after questioning.
On Thursday evening, news of Joseph Kpemka’s invitation to EOCO emerged.
However, EOCO has not officially commented on the matter; sources familiar with the development have confirmed that Mr Kpemka was invited and questioned before being granted bail.
Reports suggest Joseph Kpemka is the subject of the investigation centres on a demurrage claim of over US$800,000 arising from the delayed delivery of products by a United Arab Emirates-based trading company, Poly Pro Trading DMCC.
Joseph Kpemka was appointed Deputy Managing Director of BOST by then-President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in May 2024.
His invitation comes amid ongoing investigations into the conduct of some former government officials over suspected financial and other infractions.
He previously served as the Member of Parliament for Tempane in the Upper East Region after winning the constituency in the 2016 parliamentary election. He lost the seat in the 2020 election.
Joseph Kpemka also served as Deputy Attorney-General during the Akufo-Addo administration.
In other news, Dr Justice Srem-Sai, the Deputy Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, has announced that there will be some interesting cases coming soon under the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL).
According to Justice Srem-Sai, the prosecutors have identified approximately 30 cases from the ORAL report that are prosecutable.
Speaking on TV3’s Hot Issues on July 26, 2026, Dr Srem-Sai revealed, “When we analyse the report, I think we had about 30 cases that we thought were prosecutable”.
Justice Srem-Sai also disclosed that between five and ten of those cases are currently at advanced stages of prosecution.
“I think we have like between five and 10 now,” Dr Srem-Sai stated.
According to the Deputy Attorney General, prosecutorial decisions are guided solely by the strength of evidence rather than the profile or political affiliation of the individuals.
Justice Srem-Sai added, “We don’t actually focus on which one is big or which one is that. We focus on which one is prosecutable”.
“I can tell you there will be some interesting cases coming soon”, he hinted.
Dr Srem-Sai regurgitated the government’s commitment to pursuing ORAL cases, which was established to investigate allegations of corruption, financial loss and the misappropriation of public resources.
“We are going to continue prosecuting as far as the ORAL is concerned; we are going to do it”, he added.
