OB Amponsah is a popular Ghanaian stand-up comedian
Popular Ghanaian comedian, OB Amponsah, has taken to social media to condemn the alleged embezzlement of over GH₵548 million at the National Service Secretariat (NSS) following the exposé by the Attorney General, following preliminary work done by the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) team.
According to him, any act of fraud or theft in the name of political loyalty is unacceptable.
Taking to his Facebook handle on June 13, 2025, the stand-up comedian, who has been vocal on societal issues, lambasted the NSS executives for their actions while the personnel remained unpaid for months, likening it to characters in the hit Netflix series, “Ozark.”
“This and many more are some of the corrupt deeds that went right under Akufo-Addo’s nose. While National Service Personnel remained unpaid, these greedy thieves were siphoning and washing Ghanaian funds like they were a cast in Ozark,” he wrote.
He called on Ghanaians not to accept any form of theft in the name of politics, warning that all would suffer the repercussions.
“We must never condone this level of thievery under the guise of political loyalty. Ebi we naaa go suffer in the end. Speak out. Ghana is for us all,” he added.
His remarks come in the wake of AG Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine’s disclosure that over GH₵548 million was misappropriated through ghost names in the NSS payroll, an investigation which was part of “Operation Recover All Loot.”
According to the AG, 12 individuals, including former NSS bosses and vendors, will be charged with stealing, money laundering, and causing financial loss to the state.
The AG has pledged swift prosecutions and asset recovery.
