The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has defended its handling of the arrest and detention of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.
According to the EOCO’s Ashanti Regional Director, Edward Cudjoe, critics are exaggerating the situation and that the agency has adhered to legal procedures in granting bail.
Chairman Wontumi was arrested earlier this week and granted bail of GH¢50 million with two sureties, both to be justified.
His lawyers have secured one surety but have yet to meet the second condition, resulting in his continued custody.
The bail amount has been criticised by various political figures, including former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who described it as unrealistic.
Dr. Bawumia stated that few individuals in Ghana possess properties worth GH¢50 million to satisfy such bail conditions.
