Kwame A Plus calls for investigation into GHS 68.64billion fraud at NSS

Renowned entertainer and political activist Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as Kwame A Plus, who is the newly elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Gomoa Central has called for an investigation into an alleged GHS68.64billion fraud at the National Service Scheme (NSS).

The outspoken public figure took to Facebook to reflect on his new role while expressing grave concern over allegations of corruption within NSS.

According to A Plus, between 2020 and 2024, officials of the NSS allegedly inflated the scheme’s payroll by adding approximately 200,000 ghost names, resulting in a financial loss of GHS 68.64 billion (about $4.5 billion). He described the allegations as deeply troubling and called for a thorough investigation into the matter.

"Such misconduct is intolerable," he wrote, emphasizing that public officials must not escape accountability. He warned that failing to address these allegations would foster a culture of impunity and embolden others to engage in even greater wrongdoing.

Kwame A Plus’s post has sparked widespread debate, with many urging authorities to take urgent and decisive action to address the issue.

His election as MP for Gomoa Central marks a significant milestone in his political journey, as he has long been known for using his platform to advocate for transparency and good governance.

The newly minted MP has pledged to prioritize accountability and fight corruption in his parliamentary duties. His entry into Parliament is expected to amplify his voice on key national issues, including public sector reforms and the fight against corruption.
