EOCO questions former Deputy AG Joseph Kpemka over BOST dealings, grants him bail

The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) questioned former Deputy Attorney-General Joseph Dindiok Kpemka on September 10, 2026, regarding certain dealings at Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited (BOST). Kpemka, who previously held the position of Deputy Managing Director at BOST, appeared before EOCO on Thursday and was subsequently released on bail.

Reports of his invitation and questioning emerged on Thursday evening, though EOCO has not officially commented on the matter. My sources confirm that Kpemka was indeed invited and questioned before being granted bail, and he is not currently in EOCO custody. The specific issues surrounding the invitation have not been disclosed, but sources suggest that Kpemka has not been implicated in any wrongdoing.

Kpemka, who was appointed Deputy Managing Director of BOST by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in May 2024, was also previously the Member of Parliament for Tempane in the Upper East Region. He lost the seat in the 2020 election. Kpemka has a history of serving in various government roles, including as Deputy Attorney-General during the Akufo-Addo administration. Investigations into the BOST-related matter are ongoing.
