It is unclear what led to the sack of ACP K.K Amoah but sources say he is part of the group that has aged over 60 years and who have been asked to step aside by end of February 2019.

In November 2019, ACP Amoah was in the spotlight for suspending the Eastern Region Director of EOCO, Fred Dzeny.

ACP Amoah suspended Mr Dzeny for making utterances he [ACP Amoah] described as unethical.

Mr Dzeny had called on President Add Dankwa Akufo-Addo to prosecute his appointees found culpable of corrupt practices in order to cement his commitment towards fighting corruption in the country.

Mr Dzeny made the call while addressing patrons at a forum held under the theme “Youth in the fight against corruption”.
