The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akurutinga Ayine, has revealed that he personally financed the purchase of six printers for the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
Dr Ayine made the disclosure in response to concerns raised by members of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) regarding whether EOCO had received any grants or donations from unapproved sources.

He clarified that EOCO does not receive financial support or grants from private individuals, emphasising that his contribution was a personal gesture aimed at supporting the institution’s work and does not constitute a conflict of interest.
“If you look at the listed entities, for instance, the Bank of Ghana, it’s government; it’s part of the apparatus of the state. EOCO does not receive such donations from private persons because of issues of conflict of interest. For example, when I assumed office in February, one of the things they briefed me on was that they did not have printers.

“We looked everywhere; we couldn’t find the funds to buy the printers. I purchased six heavy-duty printers for them out of my own funds. There is no conflict in this because I wanted the entity to work efficiently, which is why I made that contribution,” he noted.
