Kwabena Adu Boahen, the son of NPP’s 1992 presidential candidate Albert Adu Boahen, has been accused of using stolen funds from the National Signal Bureau (NSB) to purchase 27 houses in a gated estate at Oyarifa, with each house costing $295,000, totaling $7.9 million.
According to reports, Adu Boahen also acquired separate houses at Tseaddo and its environs, with some costing $1 million and others $500,000 and more. Additionally, he allegedly purchased two other houses in the UK.
The allegations suggest that Adu Boahen used his position as Director of the NSB to embezzle funds, making daily withdrawals of 7 million cedis at one point. His brother, Charles Adu Boahen, a former Deputy Finance Minister and close associate of Vice President Bawumia, was also implicated in a separate scandal involving a $200,000 bribe caught on tape by investigative journalist Anas.
The accusations against Kwabena Adu Boahen have raised concerns about corruption and the misuse of public funds in Ghana. The matter is currently under investigation, with many calling for greater transparency and accountability in government institutions.
