President John Dramani Mahama has said that he has directed that the culprits of the National Service Scandal be declared wanted and their assets frozen.
This, he said, forms part of holding the officials accountable for their stewardship.
Delivering his State of the Nation Address in Parliament on Thursday, February 27, he said"as part of our Operation Recover All Loot programme, I have already tasked our investigative bodies to bring the culprits of the National service Ghost names scandal to justice." "Such brazen theft of public funds must not go unpunished," he announced. "Unfortunately, some of these culprits are believed to have absconded from this country already.
I have directed that they be declared wanted and their assets traced and frozen until investigations are completed," John Mahama noted.
