Ghanaian netizens on social media have been actively reacting to the recent developments following the revelations made by former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene.

Kwabena Adu-Boahene, currently on remand in the custody of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), has revealed confidential information contained in a memo outlining the allocation and utilisation of funds he is accused of embezzling during his tenure as Director-General of the National Signals Bureau.

The memo, which provides a detailed breakdown of the fund allocations, indicates that over GH¢8 million was allegedly used to finance an opposition political party, while an additional GH¢960,000 was reportedly paid to Members of Parliament as allowances to facilitate the passage of the National Signals Bureau (NSB) Act, among other payments made for some special operations.

Additionally, the memo showed that an amount of GH¢5.1 million was allocated for the purchase of vehicles intended for a special aide to the president-elect.

The revelation has sparked a flurry of conversations and reactions among the public, with netizens criticising Adu-Boahene.

Some critics suggest that the disclosure of these details may have complicated his case, with others pointing out that as the head of the National Signals Bureau at the time, he may have played a role in authorising the expenditures, potentially implicating him in the allegations.

Some have also pointed out inconsistencies in his statements, raising questions about whether the funds he referenced in the memo were drawn from the bureau’s official accounts or from his personal finances.

They have also chastised him for attempting to make confidential matters public, suggesting that he may be using this strategy in an effort to maneuver his way out of the trial.

On the other hand, some suggest that Adu-Boahene may have acted in the interest of the state, rather than for personal gain. They have called for a thorough investigation into his allegations, emphasising the need for clarity and verification of the claims presented in the memo.

Adu Boahene is saying he is only a pawn in the game. And even if some money slipped through his fingers, he didn't chop alone.

At this point, if his assertions are true, the AG will either present a weak case so that the judges will rule in his favour or give him a lighter… pic.twitter.com/7febp0Uyce

The folks around Adu Boahene should advice him to shut up. He stole from the State ND used the money as he likes without recourse to the State? He should just go and face the law and stop the noise. If he has anything incriminating against anybody he should spill it in the dock.

In the public administration system no payments or procurement are made via a phone call. No. There must be an initiating memo referencing a decision taken either by a Board of Directors or by Cabinet or by an authority with the mandate under the constitution say the National…

The Attorney General, who is supposed to prosecute Adu-Boahene for corruption, is implicated among MPs who took money from the supposed “corrupt money” that Adu Boahene is being prosecuted for. Let that sink in!

Adu Boahene is actually not smart, l thought he would've picked a lesson from registering a business that bears the same name as that of the state. Is he mandated to purchase vehicles for the president? Who authorises such transactions? Is the transition team aware? pic.twitter.com/0aUYiI0tpl

You spent 8.3 millions dollars on “communication equipment for election results collation”

What kind of communication equipment kwabena?

Who collates election results Jean Mensah or Kwabena Adu Boahene?

These people are further exposing their corruption

Not to hold brief for Adu Boahene, but he raises a valid point, if he truly diverted funds into his personal and other accounts, why didn’t the Auditor-General flag it in their report?

Out of the money Adu Boahene is being accused of stealing, $500,000 was given to the NDC to build their election coalition system in September of last year?

I am very confused now.

The Attorney General must tread carefully with his public briefings. From what Adu Boahene and the AG have shared, it’s clear the AG risks fueling public bias ,only to be embarrassed when the courts deliver a different judgment.
