Dr Justice Srem-Sai, Deputy Attorney-General, has accused Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah of deliberately refusing to honor an invitation from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO). In response to Awuah's claim that he had visited EOCO multiple times following the invitation without being arrested, Srem-Sai stated that Awuah had the opportunity to present himself to the investigative body but chose not to do so.
The Deputy Attorney-General described Awuah's decision as a "deliberate and principled position," arguing that there were no obstacles preventing him from appearing before EOCO. Srem-Sai also challenged Awuah's argument that EOCO could have arrested him during one of his visits to their offices on behalf of clients, stating that such an action would have been inappropriate and would have strengthened Awuah's case that he was targeted for his work as a legal practitioner.
