The Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, has revealed that a forensic audit conducted by the Office of the Auditor-General into the National Service Authority (NSA) scandal has uncovered a total loss of GH¢2.2 billion, far exceeding the earlier estimated figure of GH¢548 million.

Dr Ayine said the new findings have prompted his office to amend the charge sheet to reflect the updated figures and to include additional charges against the accused persons.

Speaking at the Government Accountability Series on Wednesday, October 22, Dr Ayine confirmed that charges have already been filed against the former Director-General of the NSA, Osei Assibey Antwi, and his deputy, Gifty Oware-Mensah. He noted that more prosecutions are expected as part of the government’s ongoing anti-corruption drive.

“Charges are being prepared against the remaining public officers and the so-called marketplace vendors. In all, we intend to file about ten cases in the NSA scandal and will use some of the public officers and vendors as prosecution witnesses,” Dr Ayine stated. “This strategy is working well for us, and we intend to continue using it.”

He added that the forensic audit had significantly expanded the scope of the investigation.

“The Auditor-General has conducted a forensic audit into the NSA scandal, and the total amount of money stolen or illegally spent now stands at GH¢2.2 billion, not the GH¢548 million uncovered by my investigators as of June 2025,” he explained.

Dr Ayine also disclosed that investigations remain ongoing into several other high-profile corruption cases, including those involving the All-Africa Games, the mathematical sets procurement, the Bank of Ghana’s new head office project, stadium renovations, and the National Cathedral project.

In the case of the National Cathedral, he said his office has requested another forensic audit to ensure full transparency and accountability.
