In the GH¢49 million fraud case, a key witness has spoken out. Former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene is involved in this case.
Frank Anane Dekpey was an errand assistant to Mr. Adu-Boahene. He testified that he delivered cash directly to the NSB office in Labone. He did not deliver cash to Mr. Adu-Boahene’s home.
Dekpey described himself as a driver and errand boy. He collected funds from banks like UMB and Stanbic. He stated he never knew the exact amounts he transported.
All his deliveries were made to the NSB premises. This contradicts the Attorney-General's claim about personal withdrawals by Mr. Adu-Boahene.
The Attorney-General's office accuses Mr. Adu-Boahene of diverting GH¢49.1 million meant for a cybersecurity system. Investigations showed only a small part of the funds reached the Israeli supplier.
The rest allegedly went into accounts controlled by Mr. Adu-Boahene and his associates. While Dekpey’s testimony supports deliveries to NSB, it does not clarify how funds were used afterward.
He admitted he had no knowledge of internal operations or where the money went after delivery.
