Kwame A Plus Calls for Investigation into GHS 68.64 Billion Fraud at NSS
Controversial political activist and musician Kwame A Plus has called for an immediate and thorough investigation into a reported GHS 68.64 billion fraud involving the National Service Scheme (NSS). His comments follow an alarming revelation of the alleged misappropriation of funds within the scheme, which plays a critical role in the country's national service program.
In a series of social media posts, A Plus expressed his deep concerns over the scale of the fraud and the potential implications it could have on the integrity of the NSS and the government’s ability to manage public funds effectively. He urged authorities, including the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) and the Auditor-General’s Department, to launch an urgent investigation to determine how such a large sum could have been misused without detection for so long.
According to reports, the GHS 68.64 billion fraud involves several individuals within the NSS, who are believed to have orchestrated a series of financial irregularities over a period of time. The scandal, if true, would be one of the largest cases of financial fraud in Ghana’s public sector in recent years. It is reported that the money was siphoned off through various means, including inflated contract prices, ghost workers, and the misallocation of service allowances.
Kwame A Plus has been an outspoken critic of government inefficiencies, and his call for an investigation has resonated with many Ghanaians who are frustrated with widespread corruption within public institutions. The activist emphasized that such an investigation should be transparent and independent to ensure that all those responsible for the fraud are held accountable, regardless of their position or political affiliations.
The NSS, a government-run institution that coordinates the mandatory one-year national service for university graduates, is crucial for the country’s development and youth empowerment. Any loss of public funds at such a scale undermines the public’s trust in state institutions and hampers national progress.
In response, the government has stated that it is committed to investigating the matter thoroughly and ensuring that justice is served. However, many remain skeptical, demanding swift action to prevent further damage to the country’s finances and reputation.
