A photo of the Communication Minister Sam George and embattled former Director of the National Signals Bureau (NSB) Kwabena Adu-Boahene has popped up following claims that GH¢960,000 of the GHC 49 million of alleged stolen funds were used to pay members of Parliament.
According to Adu Boahene, the GH¢960,000 was used to pay members of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee to accelerate the passage of the National Signals Bureau Act (2020).
However, it must be established that the member of parliament for Ningo Prampram Sam George was not a member of the Defence and Interior Committee of parliament.
Sam George was a member of the Public Accounts Committee and the Communications Committee in the Eighth Parliament.
Adu Boahene in a written letter from EOCO custody alleged that the GH¢960,000 payment was part of expenditures for the 2020/2021 fiscal year, specifically for the enactment of the NSB Act 2020.
He further denied any wrongdoing saying, “I give you my highest assurances that Angela [wife] and I would never steal public funds, as is being deliberately and wickedly portrayed by the Attorney-General. In any case, how does one steal public funds in the manner being described by the Attorney-General without being flagged by the Auditor-General?
“Further, I give you my highest assurances that Angela [wife] and I would never take what does not belong to us, even if privately arranged. We are full of content with the modest blessings God has given us,” he wrote.
His letter added, “What is evidently clear is that the EOCO boss, Raymond Archer is deliberately misrepresenting or distorting the facts to the authorities, and in the process causing unnecessary sensation that could embarrass the government and national security, and I am craving your urgent intervention to avert it before it becomes too late”.
Meanwhile, Kwabena Adu Boahene, his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng and two others have been charged by the state for stealing, defrauding by false pretences, money laundering, conspiracy to commit a crime.
Adu Boahene has since been remanded by an Accra High Court into EOCO custody.
