Vice President of IMANI Africa, Bright Simons, has weighed in on the ongoing controversy surrounding a leaked memo authored by a former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, describing the document as an apparent attempt to blackmail the state rather than a credible defence.
The former spy chief, who is currently on trial alongside three others for allegedly stealing public funds designated for intelligence operations, recently sent a memo from EOCO custody to the National Security Coordinator.
In the letter-now circulating on social media-he claims that the funds in question were used for sensitive national security operations and warns that he may be forced to reveal embarrassing details involving both major political parties if the prosecution continues.
However, in a detailed reaction posted on Twitter/X, Bright Simons questioned both the logic and the timing of the former official's claims.
