Gifty Oware-Mensah, former Deputy Executive Director of the National Service Authority (NSA), has been charged with multiple counts, including stealing, causing financial loss to the state, money laundering, and abuse of public office. She’s accused of misappropriating GH¢38,458,248.87 between February 2022 and March 2024. Allegedly, she transferred GH¢31.5 million from a loan facility meant for National Service Personnel into her private company’s account, claiming to supply goods on a hire-purchase basis, which wasn’t done.
The funds were secured through an agreement with the Agricultural Development Bank, with repayments to be deducted from the allowances of 9,934 National Service Personnel, who were later found to be fictitious. Investigations revealed that part of the misappropriated funds was traced to companies linked to her.
