Don’t blame only EOCO officers; hold their political bosses accountable – Osae-Kwapong

“If I have made someone the head, the administrative head of a state institution, but I’m seeing a repeated behaviour of things that offends the constitution, then as the appointing authority, one of the lines of accountability is to say maybe I need to rethink that decision.”While agreeing that repeated complaints against state institutions should prompt reforms in their administrative practices, he said the political dimension cannot be ignored, as it shapes public perception.

Speaking on JoyNews’ PM Express on Wednesday, he said attempts to separate the administrative actions of state institutions from politics remain difficult because the heads of such agencies are political appointees.
