Private Legal Practitioner, Martin Kpebu, says pronouncements by the Executive Director of the Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO), COP Maame Tiwaa Addo-Danquah\u00a0concerning the viability of charges against Menzgold CEO was wrong.<\/p>\n
Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah had said that it is becoming difficult to find evidence to prosecute Nana Appiah Mensah, aka NAM1, the former CEO of Menzgold.<\/p>\n
She stated that it has rather become difficult to find the relevant laws to support the prosecution of NAM1 as laws that defines the CEO\u2019s offence have become difficult to obtain.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cAn example is the Menzgold case. Which law, which Act did he break? And it is becoming difficult even prosecuting that case because no law will define the offence,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
Speaking on JoyNews\u2019 PM Express, Martin Kpebu stated that the EOCO boss has lost her credibility after making such pronouncements especially concerning her history of pronouncements on controversial issues.<\/p>\n
According to him, \u201cCitizens are not happy at all that this came from Maame Tiwaa because, one, it was Maame Tiwaa who mentioned that the girls in the Takoradi kidnapping case have been found, the A-Plus tape about the money to see the President in the Flagstaff House and then there is a third case.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo it means that sometimes too the messenger is very very important. Choose your messenger well. Maame Tiwaa shouldn\u2019t have been the one to make such a pronouncement because as soon as that happened, the A-Plus tape, you heard it, where she was saying \u2018Oh do you want to embarrass the government?\u201d so you see that there are public statements where she has shown that political bias and all that so the messenger was totally wrong,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He argued that the EOCO boss\u2019 statement that it would be difficult to find laws to prosecute NAM1 is rather flawed.<\/p>\n
He noted that it would be difficult for all 14 charges leveled against NAM1 and Menzgold to be dropped based on unconstitutionality or lack of evidence.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cFor Maame Tiwaa to say it is difficult and all that, I lack words for it. Are you saying that out of these 14 charges none will stick? I think the best is that in these circumstances they should just hurry up and continue with the trial,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
