Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Haruna Mohammed, has confirmed that former Deputy Executive Director of the National Service Authority (NSA), Gifty Oware-Mensah, has been released after meeting her GH¢10 million bail requirement.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s Breakfast Daily on Wednesday, November 12, Haruna disclosed that her former boss, ex-NSA Executive Director Osei Assibey Antwi, has yet to satisfy his GH¢800 million bail condition and remains in custody.
“Madam Gifty Oware, it was yesterday that she met the bail condition, and she has been released, but her boss is still in custody. 800 million, what kind of bail condition is that?” Haruna stated.
Oware Mensah, who pleaded not guilty, faces multiple charges, including willfully causing financial loss to the state, stealing, money laundering, and using public office for profit. She was arraigned before the Accra High Court on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, accused of causing financial losses exceeding GH¢38 million.
According to prosecutors, during her tenure at the NSA, Oware Mensah allegedly created about 9,934 fictitious National Service names and diverted monthly allowances intended for those ghost personnel. The scheme is believed to have cost the government more than GH¢38 million.
