Adu-Boahene’s memo, which has generated significant public and political debate, alleged that more than GH¢8 million was distributed to opposition parties to fund logistics and equipment for the 2024 general elections.
He also claimed that GH¢49 million, for which he is being prosecuted, was intended for covert national security operations.
Additionally, Adu-Boahene alleged that over GH¢5 million was spent on high-end vehicles for the special aide of the then President-elect.
In an interview on Channel One TV’s The Big Issue, Fokuo defended Adu-Boahene, emphasizing that the former NSB boss had no choice but to make the information public.
“He was pushed to the wall,” Fokuo said, noting that Adu-Boahene had attempted to reach out to the Attorney General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, without success.
“He made every effort to try to reach out… but he never had the chance.”
Fokuo expressed frustration with critics who have targeted Adu-Boahene, arguing that the former NSB head had kept the information confidential until he could no longer avoid speaking out.
“When the issue started, people were pushing him, saying all sorts of things against him. Now, he goes out as a last resort.”
This defense comes amid growing concerns over the ongoing investigation and political fallout from Adu-Boahene’s claims.
