Joseph Yamin, the National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has launched a scathing attack on Raymond Archer, the Executive Secretary of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
According to Joseph Yamin, there are several pressing investigations that EOCO should be pursuing, but the office has been slow in addressing them.
Speaking in an interview on a YouTube channel, Joseph Yamin stated, “If I start talking, I will be too harsh on Raymond. Why is it that, after all this time, you have been given the position to investigate some of these matters, but to no avail? To me, Raymond’s investigations are slow.
“And if I talk about it, some people might say it’s because he is investigating me for galamsey that I am being too hard on him. So, I have to relax.”
Meanwhile, it will be recalled that the Attorney General, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, in July 2025, directed the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to launch a full-scale investigation into alleged illegal mining activities involving Joseph Yamin, the NDC’s National Organiser and Yakubu Abanga, the party’s National Vice Chairman.
Dr Kenneth Ashigbey, the convenor of the Anti-Galamsey Coalition, has said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Organiser, Joseph Yamin, and the party’s National Vice Chairman, Yakubu Abanga, over their alleged connection in illegal mining.
Dr Ashigbey noted that the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has failed to apprehend the two NDC executives despite the directives from the Attorney-General and Minister.
Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV’s The Point of View on Monday, August 18, Dr Ashigbey stated, “The NDC’s National Organiser, National Vice Chairman, have been pointed out by the AG to investigate them. Unfortunately, EOCO, we have not heard anything from you. Just as they did to Akonta Mining [Chairman Wontumi], they should arrest these two gentlemen and conduct the investigations”.
However, Mustapha Gbande, the Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency, has said he has told the EOCO boss, Raymond Archer, to bring out their investigation report on the NDC’s National Organiser, Joseph Yamin.
According to Mustapha Gbande, EOCO has nothing against Joseph Yamin.
He disclosed that he is ready to go to jail with Joseph Yamin if anyone can produce any evidence of wrongdoing by the NDC’s National Organiser.
Speaking on Onua TV, Mustapha Gbande stated, “Only a few people in our government can do an investigation better than I do. I just appear stupid, but I am not stupid. I am saying that anybody who comes with any evidence that Yamin has done something wrong, they should jail the two of us.
It is not out of place when you do a wrong thing, you should apologise to the person you have offended. We have demonstrated and exhibited ingratitude to the National Organiser of the party, and it is wrong”.
“I have told Raymond Archer he should bring the report he has on Yamin; they should not cover anything. If Yamin did something wrong, we should prosecute him; he is my brother.”
“You don’t treat the hand that has fed you like that… It is wrong. EOCO has nothing against him,” he stressed.
He further added, “I have used resources doing an investigation on my brother; there is nothing. Anybody who says he is holding a report on Yamin should put it out”.
Yamin kept telling me in the bushes during the campaign period that we would be betrayed after all our hard work. They don’t even see what we are doing”.
Today in the NDC, people lie for convenience and sometimes once that listen to the lies are the ones I question”, he added.
The High Court has dismissed the motion for leave filed by lawyer Appiah Kubi in the Chairman Wontumi Samreboi case.#GHNow pic.twitter.com/pSqscK4ltI
