Member of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Nii Kpakpo Samoa Addo, claims the former Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Ernest Addison, was secretly spying the bank’s meetings and vault operations.
He made this claim not long after Operatives from the National Security Secretariat raided the former governor’s residence.
The operation has sparked mixed public reactions, with notable figures such as Franklin Cudjoe, Mussa Dankwa, and the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, questioning the manner in which it was conducted.
However, in a Facebook post on Friday, 21st March, Lawyer Addo claimed that Dr Addison had installed a backdoor surveillance system to monitor the central bank’s meetings and cash movements remotely.
“Dr Addison installed a backdoor system that ultimately monitors everything that happens at the Bank of Ghana. In fact, from the comfort of his home, he monitors management meetings, staff movements, vault and cash movements, etc., and there is a need to stop him.”
“In effect, he is at home calling the shots. Based on what he sees on his monitoring devices, he contacts staff members for details.”
He further alleged:
“In addition to some other activities, he is accused of being involved in, including cash movements at his house upon tip-offs, National Security decided to remove the CCTV cameras and other high-tech monitoring devices he had installed in his home.”
