An Accra-based lawyer K.K Amoah has been appointed by the President as the new Executive Director of the Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO).
KK, as he is fondly called, is a dyed-in-the-wool detective, who started his policing career from the bottom of the service, rising to the enviable rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police.
During his career in the Ghana Police Service, he served in many parts of the country and handled many critical cases.
His appointment suggests the seriousness with which the President attaches to the work of the office and how much he wants it to cover, given the many suspected cases of economic crimes committed by public officers.
Information reaching DAILY GUIDE suggests that K.K Amoah has already held a meeting with his staff during which he implored them to work hard in the interest of the nation.
His appointment follows the recent dismissal of Justice Tsar Yao by President Nana Akufo-Addo.
Justice Tsar, one of the Deputy Executive Directors of EOCO, was appointed Acting Executive Director to replace Biadela Kweku Mortey Akpadzi, whose post-retirement contract expired.
Justice Tsar’s appointment was confirmed last year but by December he hit the retirement age of 60 following which President John Mahama extended his contract.
The contract attracted public discourse with many questioning the propriety of the action, given the fact President John Mahama had come to the end of his presidency and should not have gone on that path.
Justice Tsar’s handling of former President John Mahama’s alleged Ford Explorer gift from a Burkinabe contractor incurred the displeasure of many Ghanaians who asked whether the agency could really be non-aligned in its judgements.
With the suspected cases of economic crimes against the state, K.K Amoah would especially come under the public radar, as the days elapse.

Why should anybody appoint anybody at all from the Volta region; a region full of unsurpassed thiffs and lyers because as far as Ghanaians are concerned people from the Volta region exhibited non -Ghanaian saw it all when their illustrious son JJ Rawlings came to power ; do you remember the PNDC/NDC period; do you remember when the Tsikata brothers were controlling Ghana like their personnel properties ; do you remember when all relevant positions in Ghana were occupied by EWEs because apart from the Blackstars football team every facets of top positions in society were occupied by EWES ; Do you remember a thiff called Jon Mahama and Atta MIlls who gave all the key positions to EWES and Northners again it was all EWES in key positions ; massa; STOP THROWING tantrums like a child ; today it is Nana Addo in charge and why should Nana invite these ewes/ayigbe thiffs into government because Nana Addo does not need Ewes in his government besides what does the Volta region contribute to the GDP except still from Ghanaians ; YOU DO ME I DO YOU !!!!!!next time if NDC comes to power just appoint all ewes PERIOD !!!!
When JDM was appointing ewes and nothners did u complain? Whats ur beef akans gave him 90℅ of his vote and dey deserve it. I am ga and I back him 100℅. Das y u called koliko. Ashimuuuu paaa he could b a devil we like him. We dnt want an angel(Lucifer) who later becomes the dragon and seeks apology though its demonic agents. But he doesn't apologize for the mess he created loot create and share.
Nana addo is indeed eevil and satanic. Akans here, akans there, akans everywhere. Ghana indeed has become a one tribe state but time will surely tell. Apart from the 2 ministers, I have never heard of any more appointees from the volta region
