Vincent Ekow Assafuah, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Old Tafo, has urged his fellow New Patriotic Party (NPP) MPs not to defend Kwabena Adu Boahene, who has been accused of misappropriating GH₵49 million in state funds.
Speaking on JoyNews’ on Tuesday, Assafuah cautioned party members against shielding Adu Boahene if the allegations are proven true.
“If this is true, I am warning party persons, NPP persons, in the event that this is proven, please don’t go and defend it because we are building a nation,” he stated.
The Minister for Justice and Attorney General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, made the allegations on Monday, March 24.
According to Dr. Ayine, Adu Boahene, who served as the Director General of the National Signals Bureau between 2017 and 2025, embezzled millions of dollars meant for a cyber defense project and diverted them into real estate investments in Accra and overseas.
He has also allegedly laundered over $2 million through the real estate business.
The allegations have sparked public concern, with many calling for a thorough investigation into the matter.
