Auditor-General Uncovers How Gifty Oware Cashed Out GH₵6,708 with Minister’s Approval

Ghana’s political scene has been shaken by a new revelation from the Auditor-General’s Forensic Report, exposing an alleged financial irregularity involving Mustapha Ussif, Minister for Youth and Sports, and Gifty Oware, a well-known public figure.

According to the report, Mustapha Ussif allegedly approved Gifty Oware’s National Service PIN on April 22, 2021, which allowed her to withdraw GH₵6,708.48 from government funds. The revelation has stirred public outrage, with many Ghanaians demanding accountability and transparency from those in power.

Investigators believe the approval was granted under questionable circumstances, raising concerns about how such transactions were authorized and whether similar cases exist. Critics have described the situation as a clear sign of how political influence continues to undermine fairness and integrity in public service.

Calls for a full investigation are growing louder. Many citizens and civil society groups insist that everyone involved must be held responsible, no matter their political standing. “This issue goes beyond individuals — it’s about protecting public trust,” one commentator stated.

As the Auditor-General’s Office continues its probe, the country watches closely. Whether this case will lead to real consequences or fade like past scandals remains uncertain — but one thing is clear: Ghanaians are demanding answers and justice.
