Victoria Akegi Asamoah, an official at the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), has shed light on how the institution manages assets recovered from corruption cases in Ghana.
Asamoah explained that, through a detailed procedure, recovered assets are returned to their rightful beneficiaries, including both state institutions and private individuals.
Speaking on Joy FM on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, she indicated that the process is carried out only after investigations into corruption cases have been completed, with assets allocated to state institutions redirected into initiatives that benefit the country. "Some of these monies that are recovered belong to state institutions and to individuals as well, so, after investigations, if these monies are recovered, they go to the appropriate or beneficiary institutions and beneficiary individuals.
So, the ones that have to go to the state institutions are redirected into something that will profit everybody in Ghana," he stated.
