Leading member of the Movement for Change, Hopeson Adorye, has asserted that Gifty Oware-Mensah, a former Deputy Executive Director of the National Service Authority (NSA), is being unfairly treated over her alleged role in the ghost names scandal.
Speaking in an interview on Onua TV on March 5, 2025, Hopeson Adorye said that Gifty Oware-Mensah, who in his view was not deeply involved in the scandal has become the face while persons he views as the masterminds have been left off the hook.
The leading member of the Movement for Change, who is a former New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary hopeful, explained that per the operations of the NSS, even though Oware-Mensah might have benefited from the proceeds of the scandal, she certainly played a small role in it.
He added that Gifty Oware-Mensah was in charge of administration and, therefore, was not an active participant in the alleged corruption scheme at the NSA. "The people who are not involved in this process have become the face of this scandal.
