Kwabena Adu-Boahene has been fingered in another fraud scheme
The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, has disclosed that ongoing investigations have uncovered yet another fraudulent scheme.
It has been revealed that Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has been making monthly payments of at least GH¢1.3 million into the private accounts of Kwabena Adu-Boahene, the former Director General of the National Signals Bureau.
Speaking at a press briefing on April 30, 2025, the Attorney General revealed that these payments were disguised as part of an internet provision contract with the National Signals Bureau (NSB), raising serious concerns about the misuse of public funds.
Dr Ayine further disclosed that the payments have been occurring for several months, with no clear evidence linking the transfers to any legitimate services provided by Kwabena Adu-Boahene or the NSB.
The Attorney General stated that his office is currently scrutinising the details of the contract, which appears to have been fabricated to conceal the illicit payments.
The embattled former NSB Director-General, with links to several high-profile figures, has been under investigation for various financial irregularities.
He currently faces 11 charges in connection with fraudulent schemes that have siphoned millions of cedis from state entities over the past years. These charges include conspiracy to commit fraud, money laundering, and misappropriation of public funds.
Adu-Boahene’s earlier arrest was in connection with previous schemes, following multiple allegations about his role in manipulating government contracts, diverting funds intended for public projects, and using his influence to secure favourable deals with state-owned companies.
Meanwhile, the Attorney General has vowed to pursue the case vigorously, promising to hold all involved parties accountable for their actions.
