GH¢280 Million Corruption Scandal Rocks Ghana's National Petroleum Authority

Ghana's Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) is investigating a major corruption case involving the National Petroleum Authority (NPA). The OSP alleges that high-ranking NPA officials engaged in a corrupt scheme that misappropriated over GH¢280 million. The investigation has uncovered evidence of bribery, intimidation, and other corrupt practices. "The OSP investigation has revealed that between 2022 and 2024, some high-ranking and other officials of NPA devised and implemented a corrupt scheme," stated a source close to the investigation. This case highlights the ongoing struggle against corruption in Ghana's public sector. The OSP's commitment to uncovering and prosecuting those responsible demonstrates their dedication to transparency and accountability. The recovery of a substantial amount of money is a positive step, but further investigations are needed to ensure that all those involved are brought to justice.
