The Ghanaian Democrat reports that serious moves are being made by the NPP government to disband the Serious Fraud Office (SFO).
A letter has been signed by Mr. Jake Obetsebi Lamptey ordering SFO to justify its existence as an institution established to investigate serious economic crimes against the state.
Whilst the SFO is battling with how to deal with Jake’s letter, its offices have been invaded by NPP supporters who are sifting through confidential files and ostensibly taking some sensitive ones away.
The paper’s sources at the office of the President revealed that NPP men sent to the SFO were mandated to go through the files and remove those that have incriminating evidence against NPP business tycoons.
According to the sources, the Kufuor government is determined to protect their business crooks for their financial assistance to the party.
The sources also hinted that the scrapping of the SFO is to pave way for the NPP to personally take over the investigation of such crimes at the office of the president under the so-called Accountability Desk.
