Political commentator and IMANI Africa affiliate Kay Cudjoe has claimed that Dennis Miracles Aboagye attempted to have portions of a forensic audit removed before the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) launched its investigation into the Inter Ministerial Coordinating Committee (IMCC) on Decentralisation.
In a statement shared on social media, Cudjoe said a forensic audit covering the period from August 2022 to February 2025 prompted the IMCC’s current Executive Secretary to petition EOCO over alleged misappropriation, diversion and theft involving about GH¢55 million.
He further cited allegations by the Secretariat that the audit uncovered two bank accounts that were not included in the official handing-over notes.
According to Cudjoe, one of the accounts reportedly processed GH¢102,256,802.69 in transactions.
“That is transaction value, not proven loss. But it is also not a birthday card,” he wrote.
Cudjoe also referred to allegations that Aboagye, through a lawyer and a mutual acquaintance, sought a private meeting with the current Executive Secretary to request the removal of findings relating to the accounts and certain named entities.
“The Secretariat reportedly refused. Miracles did not merely promise to command the narrative. According to the institution, he first tried to edit the audit,” he stated.
While stressing that the allegations remain under investigation, Cudjoe maintained that the audit findings deserve public attention.
“Guilt is unproven. The paper trail is not,” he added.
