Attorney General Dr Dominic Ayine says A Plus (R) is still being investigated
The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, has suggested that the Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng (A Plus), faces the possibility of being prosecuted for his alleged role in the National Service Scheme (NSS) ‘ghost names’ scandal.
Speaking at a press briefing in Accra, on Friday, June 13, 2025, Dr Ayine disclosed that A Plus, who allegedly was paid to ‘kill’ the NSS scandal from being broadcast by the media, is still being questioned by investigators.
He added that the fate of the Gomoa Central legislator will be determined by how he cooperates with the investigation.
“In the case of the famous A Plus, the investigation is still ongoing, and there are talks with him with respect to the role that he will play, either in respect of providing evidence against those who tried to do what is alleged to have been done, or if at the end of the day, no agreement is reached, then maybe he will have to stand trial,” he said.
He added, “So the investigations are ongoing. We haven’t concluded with him yet. The investigators were supposed to go to Parliament and do the interrogation in Parliament, and at the last time that they made a request, they could not do the interrogation.”
The Attorney General also indicated that the second legislator implicated in the scandal, Mustafa Yussif, the Member of Parliament for Yagaba-Kubori and former Minister of Sports, will be prosecuted for his role in the scandal.
“There are two Members of Parliament who were investigated in this scandal. One was a former Chief Executive Officer, that is the Honourable Mustafa Yussif. And so in his case, we basically had the evidence relating to actions that he had taken as the executive officer, and then we interrogated him,” he said.
