Dennis Miracles Aboagye, Special Aide to former Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has called for a clear separation between legal accountability and political commentary regarding the GH₵49 million controversy involving the National Signals Bureau (NSB).

Speaking on Newsfile on JoyNews, Aboagye cautioned against exploiting the sensitive allegations for political mileage, warning that such actions could erode public trust and derail the pursuit of justice.

“We shouldn’t mix politics with law,” Aboagye insisted. “If there is credible evidence that public funds were misapplied, it must be pursued through formal investigations—not through headline-grabbing accusations.”

The GH₵49 million in question stems from claims made by the former Director General of the NSB, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, who alleged that large sums were disbursed to political actors and presidential aides.

The revelations have triggered a storm of public debate, with growing calls for an independent inquiry.

However, Aboagye maintains that the process must remain free of political interference to preserve its integrity.

“Let us resist the temptation to weaponise these allegations for political gain. Ghanaians deserve clarity and accountability, and that can only be achieved by keeping politics out of the courtroom,” he emphasized.
