IMANI Ghana has strongly advocated for the Dzamefe Commission's final report to be made public.
According to IMANI, making the report public will halt speculations about the findings of the commission.
The Commission completed its work in December 2014 but the final report was only submitted on Tuesday. President Mahama received the 400-page document, promising to expedite action once the Attorney General was done studying it.
The Dzamefe Commission of Inquiry was set up to investigate issues surrounding the Black Stars’ poor participation at the World Cup tournament in Brazil in 2014.
IMANI president Franklin Cudjoe, after speaking to Joy Sports on Tuesday, put out this statement which suggests that keeping the report from the public will fuel too many conspiracy theories.
Below is the statement:
"Still finding it difficult to understand what the Dzamefe Commission meant by an implementation committee to deal with the findings of the World Cup brouhaha. It is even more curious that the commission hands over its report to the Attorney-General to study what exactly?"
"As we all understood, no one against whom findings have been made would be prosecuted, so what exactly is the Attorney-General studying?
"It is NOT right to keep persons accused of deliberately misapplying funds sitting on tenterhooks for that long. Some will even believe the rumors that indicted officials may be shielded.
"I will humbly ask the Dzamefe Commission to make the report public to we can all know what truly transpired, else I am at liberty to speculate that the Commission itself is not interested in the seeking finality to the issues.
"My final advice and quoting one-time American Presidential hopeful, Ross Perot that “if you see a snake, kill it. No need setting up a committee on snakes."
