Upcoming corruption cases will send shockwaves across Ghana – Attorney-General hints

Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has hinted at a series of corruption cases that will be revealed in the coming weeks, stating that it will bring shockwaves across Ghana.

Addressing a press conference on Monday, Dr. Ayine named financial misconduct, abuse of power, and illicit transactions within key government institutions as some of the alleged criminal activities perpetuated by former appointees.

The comments made by Dr. Dominic Ayine come after Kwabena Adu Boahene, the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), was arrested on suspicion of embezzling millions of dollars intended for a cyber defense project.

He said that the government’s ongoing investigations will reveal much more startling misbehavior in the days ahead, implying that the Adu-Boahene case is just the beginning.

“We are working diligently on several dossiers that will shock the conscience of the nation. If what suspect Adu-Boahene and his wife have done is like a Thrilla in Manila, please brace yourself for a Ramble in the Jungle in the next few weeks,” he hinted.

According to investigations, Adu-Boahene signed a $7 million deal with the Israeli company RLC Holdings Limited in January 2020 on behalf of the Ghanaian government to purchase software for a cyber security system.

Adu-Boahene allegedly moved GH¢27.1 million from the National Signals Bureau’s Fidelity Bank account to a private BNC account at Universal Merchant Bank (UMB) rather from carrying out the contract as required.
