Sammy Darko is one of the lawyers of Anas Aremeyaw Anas
Sammy Darko, an attorney with Anas Aremeyaw at Tiger Eye, said the criminal investigation department should not have investigated corruption charges filed against the former secretary of the interdepartmental committee. on illegal mining, Charles Bissue, especially when his team had seized the special prosecutor. On the question.
According to him, the police should have focused on some unresolved cases instead of looking into the matter that is being examined by the Special Prosecutor's Office.
In Citi TV's The Point of View, Darko cited the killing of Tiger Eye P.I. Journalist Ahmed Hussein Suale and the missing girls in Takoradi are among the unresolved cases that the CID could prioritize.
The CID font, for lack of a better word, is overloaded. For example, the terrible murder of Ahmed Hussein Suale; the police must investigate that. We have provided them with all the information they need, including a cbadette of a suspect. All these, they have on their hands. They must investigate. Takoradi girls [also]. They have so many subjects to study.
Mr. Darko's observations on the case took place after the special prosecutor, Martin Amidu, condemned the interference in his office's investigation of Mr. Bissue after being seized by Tiger Eye PI
In a documentary published by Tiger Eye PI, Mr. Bissue was seen taking money to help an unauthorized company carry out mining activities.
But the CID has exonerated Mr. Bissue of corruption charges after a separate investigation by Tiger Eye P.I sentenced.
Mr Darko emphasized that the Special Prosecutor was the only body "duly mandated to investigate politically exposed persons".
He said Tiger Eye P.I would have petitioned the CID if only Mr. Bissue had been charged with corruption.
"But we realized that there were other people like Thomas Andy Owusu, who is not a public official … he is related to the president of the Ashanti nuclear power plant. . "
"There are people who are not civil servants but who have engaged in corruption. In this case, the police can not investigate. The OSP is the best person to investigate, "Darko said.
Still on the point of view, Dr. Kojo Asante, Director of Advocacy and Policy Mobilization at the Center for Democratic Development (CDD), said the IDC should not have entered the case after being warned by Amidu.
"When this case was raised and Mr. Amidu raised the issue of parallel investigations, I think the IDC should have yielded."
In addition, Dr. Asante said that there were "many missed opportunities" from the police.
"They could have talked to Mr. Amidu and told him to combine our resources so that we can reach a definitive conclusion," he suggested.
