Embattled former Director General of the National Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu-Boahene has given a detailed account of the monies he has been charged by the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, of stealing.
In the memo dated May 5, Mr Adu-Boahene wrote “I cannot tell where the AG gets his theories from; but as your good office would have learned by now, the matter relates to transactions between your Special Services Account (Special Operations Account – “Coordinated Account”) and SPV account “BNC Communications Bureau.” duly authorised and created for the national security exigencies of the time – and for which my wife (duly vetted) and the UMB were instrumental in facilitating.”
He added, “I have tried to withhold classified information from my interrogators, but I deem it prudent to inform your good office that in light of the current developments, we run the risk of public disclosure of the following National Security and Intelligence operations expenditure items.”
He then attached the evidence of disbursement to the Defence and Interior as well as the Subsidiary Legislation Committee and others as follows:
Mr Adu-Boahene denied any wrongdoing in relation to charges of stealing and causing financial loss to the state leveled against him by the Attorney General.
He said, from the way Dr Ayine is going about the case, he (Adu-Boahene) cannot help but make full disclosure if the interrogation continues.
“It is bizarre that the Attorney-General attempts to link unrelated transfers. withdrawals. and refunds for Special Operations with assets we do not own and a few we own which mostly predate the 2020 transactions he raised. A cursory look on the pan of anyone would reveal these facts.”
“As this ridiculous drama unfolds. some forty-nine (49) million Ghana cedis of Special Operations funds have now become the subject of court action. where my wife and I. as well as other affiliates, are being accused with charges including stealing and causing financial loss to the state,” Mr Adu-Boahene stated.
He accused the Executive Director of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) Raymond Archer, of peddling falsehood against him.
“What is evidently clear is that the EOCO boss, Raymond Archer is deliberately misrepresenting or distorting the facts to the authorities, and in the process causing unnecessary sensation that could embarrass the government and national security, and I am craving your urgent intervention to avert it before it becomes too late,” he urged the National Security Coordinator.
