GH ¢ 49m scandal: Ex-NSB boss claims do not hold a water-hell Simons

The honorary vice president of Imani-Africa, Bright Simons, has gained serious doubts about the defense, which was proposed by the former general director of the National Signal Bureau (NSB), Kwabena adu-Boahene, about the distraction of funds for the purchase of spyware in a controversial GH deal.

In a detailed analysis of the national security architecture, operations and expenses within the framework of Ghana's laws, Mr. Simon claimed that the explanations offered by the former security manager were unsustainable.

Mr. Adu-Boahene, who is currently being condemned for allegedly 49 million gh ¢, claimed that part of the funds had been distributed to opposition parties for “hidden national security operations”.

In a memo directed to the national security coordinator, the former spy chief said that the amounts in question contained 8.3 million GH for “communication equipment” for an opposition party and almost 1 million GH payments to legislators for the adoption of important security laws.

In order to reinforce his argument, he explained: “If it is necessary to spy on people because some of them are terrorists, some criminals, etc. and we decided to buy it, and we have assigned $ 7 million, you cannot pay the rest of the company that pays the rest to a point, and therefore the country that has been denied the advantage of the transaction over four years.

Mr. Simons emphasized that such behavior “cannot happen in our financial laws, and there was not even a reasonable explanation”.

He also argued that surgery of this size could not take place without the knowledge of the President, the Minister and the National Security Council. He added that the general prosecutor's decision to take legal steps had considerable violations of the protocol and accountability.

“If this was the case, as with an authorized re -assignment of the household, the person who does this is the finance minister who acts through the president, but the records so that the lawyer of General of the Republic, who has all of them and the president's ear, will not be blind.”

Mr. Simon emphasized the need for documentation and traceability of each individual payment, in particular for reasons of responsibility and the fight against corruption.

“If it is authorized OPS, despite the fact that they are hidden or Black OPS are used in the United States, they will continue to be recorded and they will still be matters that are subject to the responsibility of the National Security Council.”

He concluded with the highlighting of internal consciousness for the threat corruption for national security:

“National security itself knows that corruption is a critical problem and that they set up their own systems appropriately to manage this. If the feeling felt that corruption gave national security themselves.”
