The Member of Parliament for Suame, John Darko, has honoured an invitation from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to assist with investigations into an alleged criminal conspiracy involving SIC Savings and Loans Company Limited.
In a statement, EOCO disclosed that the financial loss associated with the ongoing investigation had been revised to approximately GH¢27 million.
According to the Office, Hon. Darko reported to its premises at exactly 12:00 noon today and cooperated with investigators throughout the process.
EOCO described the MP as respectful, cooperative and fully responsive during the investigative engagement.
Following his appearance, the Office granted him enquiry bail, taking into consideration the circumstances of the case, the applicable law and his level of cooperation with investigators.
Former SIC Life Savings and Loans MD also Cooperating
EOCO further confirmed that Amma Frimpomaa Dwumah, the former Managing Director of SIC Life Savings and Loans, has also honoured the Office’s invitation.
The former managing director is reportedly cooperating with investigators as inquiries into the alleged financial loss continue.
The involvement of both individuals forms part of EOCO’s ongoing efforts to establish the circumstances surrounding the alleged criminal conspiracy and the financial loss reported by SIC Savings and Loans Company Limited.
EOCO says investigations are progressing
The Office assured the public that investigations into the matter are progressing steadily and in line with its case theory.
However, EOCO stressed that the investigation remains active and that no final conclusion has been reached regarding the culpability or otherwise of any person connected to the case.
The development does not, in itself, establish wrongdoing by any of the individuals involved, as the investigation is still ongoing.
EOCO is expected to continue its inquiries to establish the facts surrounding the alleged conspiracy and the circumstances that led to the reported financial loss of approximately GH¢27 million.
The Office has urged the public to recognise that the matter remains under investigation, with the final findings yet to be determined.
