President John Dramani Mahama has ordered the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) to investigate the NSS ‘ghost names’ scandal.
This comes following allegations of 81,885 suspected ghost names on the payroll under the previous government.
Mahama directives come as a headcount of National Service personnel show, that 98,145 actual National Service personnel were entitled to the allowances, significantly lower than the 180,030 names.
