IMCC reveals Aboagye requested removal of GH¢102.2m bank account audit finding

The Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee (IMCC) on the Decentralisation Secretariat has rejected claims made by its former Executive Secretary, Dennis Edward Aboagye, describing his recent public comments as inaccurate and unsubstantiated.

In a statement issued on Monday, July 27, 2026, the Secretariat said Aboagye made several claims during an appearance on Ekosiisen on Asempa 94.7 FM on July 21, 2026, which it believes require clarification.

The IMCC stated that a forensic audit conducted in 2025 found Aboagye and the Accountant “personally and jointly culpable” for identified financial irregularities, including authorising or facilitating transactions that did not comply with applicable regulations.

According to the Secretariat, the audit report has since been submitted to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) for further action, although it noted that it is not aware of the full scope or findings of EOCO’s investigations.

“The audit findings have been submitted to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) for necessary action. The Secretariat is not privy to the full scope or findings of EOCO’s investigation but has been informed that the Audit Report forms part of a wider inquiry and will continue to provide requested documents and information in accordance with due process,” the statement read.

The statement also denied allegations that the current Executive Secretary pressured Aboagye to stop commenting on government matters or was attempting to implicate him.

“The Secretariat categorically refutes Aboagye’s claim that the Executive Secretary instructed him to stop commenting on government matters. For clarity, no such directive or instruction was issued. At no point was such alleged disclosure made,” the statement added.

The Secretariat further revealed that Aboagye allegedly requested that some audit findings be dropped during a meeting held on July 18, 2025. These included issues involving two bank accounts, one of which recorded transactions totalling GH¢102,256,802.69 but was not included in the handing-over notes.

It added that requests concerning PNY Investment Limited, BMABA Enterprise and GAPTE were also declined.

The IMCC maintained that audits and administrative reviews are standard governance practices and are not intended to target former officials.
