Oware-Mensah allegedly planning to flee amid NSS ¢500M ghost names scandal

Gifty Oware-Mensah, the Deputy Executive Director of the National Service Scheme (NSS), is reportedly making arrangements to leave Ghana amid a growing scandal involving ¢500 million tied to ghost names on the Scheme’s payroll.

Sources indicate that the Office of the Registrar of Academic Leaders (ORAL) team has received a dossier detailing widespread corruption, with several high-ranking officials implicated in making payments to non-existent individuals.

Oware-Mensah, a key figure in the NSS, is alleged to be trying to evade accountability.

Insiders claim her office has used threats to silence media outlets from publishing the story, raising concerns about press freedom.

The scandal, involving the misuse of public funds, has sparked calls for transparency and accountability, leaving many questioning the integrity of the NSS.

Efforts to contact Oware-Mensah for comment have been unsuccessful.
