President John Dramani Mahama has appointed renowned investigative journalist and intelligence specialist Raymond Archer as the Acting Deputy Executive Director of the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO).

This appointment aligns with the President's ambitious anti-corruption initiative, the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) initiative, which seeks to reclaim illicitly acquired state assets.

Sources indicate that since 2019, Archer has led a covert investigative team known as the Opponent's Research Group (ORG), which specializes in high-profile corruption and organized crime investigations.

His new role at EOCO is expected to leverage this experience to strengthen the fight against financial crimes.
