Kwabena Adu-Boahene, the former Director-General of the National Signal Bureau (NSB), has intensified his defense against corruption allegations, he is now claiming in a letter from EOCO custody that GHS 960,000 from Special Operations funds were used to pay allowances to members of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee to facilitate the passage of the National Signals Bureau Act.
This new claim adds a significant layer of complexity to the ongoing investigations.
In the letter, dated May 5, 2025, and addressed to the National Security Coordinator, Adu-Boahene reiterated his denial of misappropriating funds, asserting that a substantial portion of the Special Operations budget – specifically GHS 960,000 – was allocated to cover allowances for MPs serving on the crucial Defence and Interior Committee.
He suggests these payments were necessary to ensure the smooth and timely passage of the National Signals Bureau Act, a piece of legislation directly impacting the operations and mandate of the agency he once led.
The former NSB boss also continued to express his bewilderment at the Attorney-General’s attempts to link legitimate Special Operations expenditures with personal assets acquired before or unrelated to the transactions in question.
He maintained his belief that the EOCO boss, Raymond Archer, is misrepresenting facts, creating unnecessary alarm and potentially harming national security interests.
Referencing specific entries in what appears to be a log of Special Operations expenditure, Adu-Boahene highlighted allocations for “Election Special Ops – Logistics” amounting to GHS 5,135,000 in December 2024, aimed at ensuring the “Stability of Nation/National Cohesion/Political impartiality,” with a “Special Aide to President Elect” listed.
Another entry detailed GHS 520,000 spent on “Human Security Ops – Generators” in 2024 for “Human Security Intervention,” overseen by the “National Security Coordinator.”
Adu-Boahene suggests these expenditures were legitimate and within the purview of Special Operations.
