NDC National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi
The National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has described as impossible, claims that his party received monetary and equipment support from the National Signals Bureau (NSB) under the National Security Secretariat during the 2024 general elections.
The embattled former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu Boahene, in a recent letter addressed to the National Security Coordinator, alleged that $500,000 (approximately GH¢8.3 million) was used to purchase “communications equipment” for an opposition party, specifically for election results collation, in September 2024.
He claimed this was part of the NSB’s “Special Operations Expenditure” to support the opposition party’s activities ahead of the 2024 general elections.
While it remains unclear whether the then-opposition NDC benefited from the allocation, concerns have been raised over the expenditure, deemed questionable by critics.
In response to the criticisms, the convenor of the Fix The Country Movement, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, posed an open question to the NDC, demanding the party’s reaction to the allegation’s veracity.
“Simple question for the NDC to answer by tomorrow morning at 6 am: Did you receive any equipment from National Security ahead of the 2024 elections? Yes or No?” the activist posted on his Facebook page.
In response, Sammy Gyamfi, who also serves as the Acting Chief Executive Officer of Ghana GOLDBOD, described the claim by Kwabena Adu Boahene as impossible.
According to the National Communications Officer, it is unreasonable to suggest that the erstwhile New Patriotic Party (NPP) government would resource the NDC to win an election.
“How is that even possible, my brother? How could the Kan Dapaah-led National Security Ministry or Secretariat of the NPP government be so foolish as to buy equipment for the opposition NDC to oust their own government?” he questioned under Barker-Vormawor’s post.
Kwabena Adu Boahene, the former NSB Director-General, was arrested on March 20, 2025, at the Kotoka International Airport upon his return from abroad.
The Attorney General, Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, explained that Adu Boahene is being investigated for embezzling state funds, including misappropriating funds from a $7 million cyber defense system contract.
He is also accused of laundering over $2 million through real estate investments in Accra, allegedly using a private firm he established during his tenure at the NSB from 2017 to 2025.
Adu Boahene, his wife – Angela Adjei-Boateng; Mildred Donker, a banker, and their company, Advantage Solutions Limited, have been charged by the Attorney General.
The NSB, an agency under the National Security Council of Ghana, is responsible for providing integrated signal systems to support national security and intelligence agencies, securing Ghana’s cyberspace, and maintaining communication among government security agencies.
