A fierce online exchange erupted on May 7, 2025, between two Ghanaian lawmakers over explosive claims made by former National Signals Bureau (NSB) boss, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, regarding the alleged misuse of GH¢49 million in state funds.
According to Ghana Web, The allegations, which listed disbursements to various individuals and groups for supposed national security operations, implicated key parliamentary committees.
Among the claims were payments of GH¢960,000 to the Defence and Interior Committee and GH¢309,000 to the Subsidiary Legislation Committee.
Rev John Ntim Fordjour, MP for Assin South and Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee, took to social media platform X to express shock over the revelations.
He described the allegations as a “major National Security scandal,” and demanded a full investigation into the matter.
His post drew a sharp rebuttal from South Dayi MP Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, who criticized Fordjour’s reaction as misinformed and politically motivated.
“You’re embarrassing yourself as an MP & I feel sad for you,” Dafeamekpor fired back, questioning why Fordjour would raise public alarm instead of initiating formal parliamentary procedures.
The clash escalated as Fordjour suggested Dafeamekpor may have benefited from the alleged funds given to the Subsidiary Legislation Committee, where he served as Vice Chairman.
“Get ready to explain… how much you personally earned from the GH¢360,000,” Fordjour warned.
Both MPs have denied any wrongdoing, but the incident has fueled public calls for transparency and a thorough investigation into the allegations tied to Adu-Boahene’s controversial list.
