Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh is a former Minister of Education
Former Minister of Education, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, widely known as NAPO, is currently under investigation by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB).
According to a report by myjoyonline.com, dated June 12, Deputy Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Justice Srem Sai, confirmed this development, stating that the investigation pertains to allegations related to the procurement of mathematical sets during NAPO’s tenure as education minister.
However, he emphasised that this does not imply that the former minister is guilty of any crime.
“He said he has been going to the NIB for a while now. Nobody knew until he said it publicly,” Dr Srem Sai stated.
According to him, the investigation relates to various projects undertaken during Dr Opoku Prempeh’s tenure across two ministries over the eight years of the Akufo-Addo administration.
“There are several aspects involved. He was a minister for both energy and education, so definitely, we have projects that were undertaken during his time, and so, he will be answering questions concerning that,” he added.
