Accra, Oct. 3, GNA ā The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) says it is working with the Office of the Attorney-General to bring Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Manhyia South, before a court this weekend.
This follows the MPās voluntary surrender to EOCO on Thursday, October 1, at about 1000 hours to assist with ongoing investigations.
In a statement, EOCO urged the public to disregard media reports that it had granted Nana Baffour Awuah GHĀ¢50 million bail.
It said the investigations concerned allegations of criminal conspiracy, financial loss to SIC Savings and Loans, money laundering, tax-related offences and other matters.
EOCO said it was continuing with the necessary investigative, procedural and operational processes involving the MP.
It said Nana Baffour Awuah was cooperating with investigators as the Office continued with the processes.
The statement said EOCO was mindful of the applicable constitutional timeframes and procedural requirements governing bail.
EOCO said it would continue to provide updates on the matter as and when appropriate and in accordance with applicable procedures.
