Some staff of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) went on a jubilation spree, shortly after it emerged that the Executive Director, Mr Justice Yao Tsar, had been dismissed by the government, The Chronicle undercover investigation has revealed.
The EOCO staff began their historic jubilation through social media, especially “WhatsApp”, congratulating each other for the great thing God had done by ending what they termed as the ‘terror regime’ at EOCO.
Their jubilation was so extensive that numerous messages sent through the social media jammed their applications, with some of them resorting to phone calls to inform others to read the dismissal story on Ghanaweb.
To show appreciation to God and do something to signify the end of ‘terror’ at EOCO, the staff, through social media, have resolved to wear white to work today (Monday), with some of them promising to continue the jubilation at pubs after work.
“My brother, we have suffered under this man. I tell you God is Great, for he has listened to our cry, because our biggest burden has been taken away,” one of our sources within EOCO disclosed.
Some of the staff members, who spoke to The Chronicle, called on the government to set up a Special Audit Committee to probe how Mr. Tsar ran his administration. This, they noted, would serve as deterrent, not only to the incoming EOCO Executive Director, but to all executive directors of state institutions in the country.
Mr Tsar was dismissed Saturday, following The Chronicle’s expose on how EOCO was investigating Mr Stephen Opuni, former Cocobod Chief Executive Officer, last Friday, which the paper raised concern about, bordering on conflict of interest, as Mr Tsar was alleged to be a close associate of Mr Opuni.
Mr. Tsar was one of the Deputy Executive Directors, and he was appointed Acting Executive Director last year June, to replace Biadela Kweku Mortey Akpadzi.

A mere sack is not the answer, but prosecution will serve as a deterrent to others. Ghana needs punitive measures to curb corruption. The way I see Akuffo Addo now, I can say for sure that he would not be tough as he used to be. He has started the same path Mahama threaded-appointing his tribesmen to the highest positions in Ghana.
Ghana Rising...
I am not sure the mere sacking of eoco boss can solve any problem, because the real dealers are the workers not the director.
Its left with the CEO of the Financial Intelligence Centre. They are both presiding over a Terror Regime. He must also be SACKED as soon as possible.
For this nation to become what we all want it to be, we must all desist from being people who just acknowledge God with our lips without acknowledging Him in our deeds.
If this is true, it should send a signal to all ceos and directors that they always have their way with staff but staff will always have the last laugh
