Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express, Kpebu, a member of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) team, alleged that those implicated in the scandal went as far as kneeling and begging for the documentary to be suppressed.
“This story has been going on for months,” he stated, referencing the deep-rooted corruption allegations linked to the NSA.
Kpebu highlighted how legal maneuvers were quickly deployed to halt the documentary’s release.
“Remember that they quickly went to court and got an order to stop The Fourth Estate from screening this documentary before the elections, and then The Fourth Estate went to the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP),” he noted.
However, once the documentary was submitted to the OSP, panic set in among those involved.
“From what we hear, they were begging on their knees. Top people were brought in to beg. I’m telling you on authority that top people were brought in to beg at The Fourth Estate not to screen this documentary,” he emphasized.
For Kpebu, such frantic efforts were an admission of guilt.
“If there was nothing untoward, they would not be begging helter-skelter that ‘don’t show this before the election’,” he asserted.
The lawyer also reacted to reports that Gifty Oware-Mensah, the former Deputy Director of the National Service Scheme, had returned to Ghana and would have to answer for her alleged involvement in the scandal.
“I’ve seen how in the past she insulted John Mahama [now president], saying that he is corrupt and using other unprintable words I don’t want to repeat. See where she finds herself today,” he remarked.
The revelations have reignited public discourse on accountability and corruption, with many calling for thorough investigations to ensure that those responsible face justice.
