Renowned legal practitioner and anti-corruption advocate, Martin Kpebu, has revealed that top officials made desperate attempts to block the release of a revealing documentary on the National Service Authority (NSA) scandal ahead of the December 7 elections.
Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express, Kpebu, a member of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) team, alleged that some individuals implicated in the scandal went as far as kneeling and pleading to prevent the documentary from airing.
“This issue has been ongoing for months,” he stated, highlighting the deep-rooted corruption allegations surrounding the NSA. He explained that legal actions were quickly taken to halt the documentary’s release.
“Remember, they rushed to court and obtained an order stopping The Fourth Estate from screening the documentary before the elections. Later, The Fourth Estate escalated the matter to the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP),” he noted.
However, once the documentary was submitted to the OSP, panic reportedly ensued. “From what we hear, they were on their knees begging. High-profile individuals were brought in to plead. I can confidently say that top officials begged The Fourth Estate not to air this documentary,” Kpebu emphasized.
For him, such frantic efforts amounted to an admission of guilt. “If they had nothing to hide, they wouldn’t be running around begging for the documentary to be suppressed before the election,” he asserted.
Kpebu also commented on reports that Gifty Oware-Mensah, the former Deputy Director of the National Service Scheme, had returned to Ghana and would be required to answer for her alleged role in the scandal.
“I remember how she insulted John Mahama [now president] in the past, accusing him of corruption and using unprintable words. Look at where she finds herself today,” he remarked.
These revelations have reignited public discourse on corruption and accountability, with many calling for thorough investigations to ensure justice is served.
