In a brazen move to eschew corruption in his government, President Mahama has directed a full-scale investigation into the NSS ghost names scandals.
The President has also vowed to ensure that persons responsible for the corrupt act will face justice and be prosecuted.
Delivering his first state of the nation address in his second term, the President noted that "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.
The President said he has given further directions for these persons to be declared wanted and their assets frozen until full-scale investigations are completed. "Unfortunately, some of these culprits are believed to have absconded from this country already.
