Founding President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, has sharply criticised the government's handling of efforts to retrieve stolen funds from the National Service Scheme (NSS) scandal, describing the current approach as weak and inefficient.

His comments follow recent revelations by Deputy Attorney General Srem-Sai, who disclosed that one of the suspects has offered to voluntarily return GH₵560,000 as part of restitution.

In a post on Facebook sighted by MyNewsGh, Cudjoe questioned why the suspects are being allowed to dictate the terms of repayment, calling for a more robust and structured legal process to recover state funds. "How are they the ones to dictate how much they are willing to return?

This is NOT an optimal approach!" he fumed.
