On Wednesday, the High Court issued an arrest warrant for Mr Agyei Baffour Awuah, the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, as part of an ongoing investigation by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO). The Court granted EOCO the authority to search for and seize relevant documents. EOCO sought these orders as their attempts to secure the MP's voluntary attendance for questioning since February 2026 had failed.
The investigation allegedly centers around unauthorised financial transactions at SIC Life Savings and Loans Company Limited, which could involve financial loss, dissipation of public funds, and money laundering. The MP claims the investigation pertains to a former law firm he had connections with, stating that he referred the matter to the Clerk to Parliament after his representative appeared before EOCO investigators multiple times in 2026.
