Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) Executive Director Sulemana Braimah has revealed yet another shocking piece of information on the never-ending NSS scandal.
Sulemana Braimah has exposed a Kenyan named Kwame Donkor in the National Service system.
According to reports the purported Kenyan was said a 72-year-old on the NSS payroll.
The MFWA Director also revealed that a Google reverse image search was done and they found out Kwame Donkor was a Kenyan working with an IT company with the name Emmanuel Mutio.
Speaking on TV3 Keypoint, Sulemana Braimah detailed, “The worst of it is we had a Kenyan called Kwame Donkor, so here is the explanation, this guy is said to be 72 years old in the system, yes the Kwame Donkor man is 72 years and he is posted, so it was quite curious to us”.
“We did a Google reverse image search and it turned out that this is somebody sitting somewhere in Kenya, a human resource manager at an IT company in Kenya and his real name is Emmanuel Mutio. This is how they just got thousands and thousands of people into the system”, he added.
Sulemana Braimah added that the information was presented to the ORAL team and the Special Prosecutor.
Meanwhile, the information gathered reveals more individuals have been named as persons of interest in the NSS ghost name scandal.
Honourable Mustapha Ussif, Akufo-Addo’s first NSS CEO, Henry Nana Boakye a board member of the NSS, Gifty Oware, Kwaku Ohene Djan, Osei Assibey Antwi are among the 5 fingered in the NSS ghost scandal.
However, the John Mahama government has announced it had discovered 81,885 ghost names on the National Service payroll.
The ghost names were detected following a head count of active National Service personnel at the behest of the Minister for Finance.
The headcount of National Service personnel shows, that 98,145 actual National Service personnel were entitled to the allowances, significantly lower than the 180,030 names.
The revelation from the government follows an investigation by the Fourth Estate which alleged a scandal at the NSS last year.
President John Dramani Mahama has also ordered the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) to investigate the NSS ‘ghost names’ scandal following allegations of 81,885 suspected ghost names on the payroll under the previous government.
