4 National Service staff interdicted over payroll fraud — NSS Boss
At least four staff of the National Service Scheme (NSS) have been interdicted following investigations by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) into a widening payroll fraud scandal at the state-run agency.
The acting Director General of the NSS, Felix Gyamfi, confirmed the interdictions during an interview on Saturday, June 13.
He explained that the disciplinary actions were based on intelligence received from the NIB, which uncovered irregularities involving personnel within the scheme.
“As the NIB brought names, I acted on them. We’ve interdicted about four people,” Mr Gyamfi disclosed. “Further names were brought yesterday and I have taken action on them as well.”
He noted that investigations are ongoing, with more revelations expected as the Scheme continues its efforts to purge payroll fraud and rebuild public trust.
Mr Gyamfi’s comments came hours after Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, described the NSS payroll scandal as part of a broader “criminal enterprise” that has cost Ghana more than GH¢548 million in recent years.
