Rashid Tanko Computer, who holds a key position in the NDC's IT and elections department, has spoken about the arrest of Dennis Edward Aboagye. Aboagye previously served as the Executive Secretary for the Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation.
Tanko Computer stated that when individuals accept roles in public office, they should be ready to provide an account of state funds. This was his response to the investigation of Aboagye by the Economic and Organised Crime Office EOCO.
He stressed that accountability is a core requirement for anyone who takes on a position serving the public. This principle applies regardless of the specific role.
The NDC official’s comments highlight the importance of transparency in government. Public officials are entrusted with resources that belong to all citizens.
The arrest and subsequent investigation indicate that authorities are scrutinizing the management of public finances. This action sends a strong message about the expectations for those in public service.
