A devastating scandal has rocked Ghana’s National Service Scheme (NSS), revealing alleged corruption and financial mismanagement on a staggering scale. Payments totaling over ₵330 million were made to various vendors, but there is no evidence that these companies provided any goods, services, or loans in return.
The list of vendors and amounts paid is a shocking indictment of the system’s failure. Individuals with seemingly legitimate company names and structures received enormous sums of money, sparking questions about the lack of oversight and accountability.

The lack of transparency and accountability in these transactions is appalling. How could such large sums of money be paid out without proper documentation or oversight? The implications are dire, and the consequences for Ghana’s economy and people could be severe.
This scandal is a wake-up call for Ghana to take a hard look at its systems and institutions. We need to rescue this country from corruption and financial mismanagement. The people demand answers and action.
