Vincent Ekow Assafuah is the MP for Old Tafo. He has urged fellow New Patriotic Party (NPP) MPs not to defend Kwabena Adu Boahene. Adu Boahene is accused of misappropriating Ghc49 million in state funds.
Mr. Assafuah spoke on JoyNews' AM Show on Tuesday. He stated that if the allegations are true, NPP members should not defend Adu Boahene. He said, "If this is true, I am warning party persons... please don't go and defend it."
The allegations were revealed by Justice Minister Dr. Dominic Ayine on March 24. Dr. Ayine stated that Adu-Boahene served as Director General of the National Signals Bureau from 2017 to 2025. He allegedly embezzled millions intended for a cyber defense project.
Adu Boahene reportedly diverted these funds into real estate investments in Accra and overseas. Additionally, he has allegedly laundered over $2 million through his real estate business.
