Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Haruna Mohammed, has confirmed the release of former Deputy Executive Director of the National Service Authority (NSA), Gifty Oware Mensah, after she met the GH¢10 million bail set by the court.
Haruna revealed that former NSA Executive Director Osei Assibey Antwi has not yet met the GH¢800 million bail requirement and remains in custody.
“Madam Gifty Oware met her bail condition yesterday and has been released, but her boss is still in custody. 800 million—what kind of bail condition is that?” Haruna remarked.
Gifty Oware pleaded not guilty to charges related to causing financial loss exceeding GH¢38 million to the state.
She appeared before the Accra High Court on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, facing five counts, including willfully causing financial loss to the state, theft, money laundering, and using public office for personal gain.
Prosecutors allege that during her tenure, Mrs. Oware Mensah created roughly 9,934 fictitious National Service personnel, unlawfully profiting from the monthly allowances allocated to these ghost workers.
The alleged actions reportedly caused losses of more than GH¢38 million to the government.
