Former Executive Director of the National Service Scheme (NSS), Mustapha Ussif, has strongly denied any wrongdoing following revelations that he is among 12 former officials set to face prosecution over a GH₵548 million payroll scandal.

In a statement issued on Friday, 13th June 2025, the Yagaba-Kubori MP reaffirmed his commitment to accountability, stating that he is ready and willing to answer to any claims relating to his tenure at the NSS between February 2017 and 6th January 2021.

“I welcome any opportunity to account for my stewardship, including but not limited to having my day in a court of competent jurisdiction,” he stated, urging supporters and the general public to remain calm.

His statement comes after Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, named him among a list of former NSS officials to be prosecuted for their alleged involvement in a massive ghost names scheme that reportedly led to the diversion of state funds.

The Attorney General said the suspects, which include former Deputy Executive Director Gifty Oware-Mensah and former Director-General Osei Assibey Antwi, conspired to inflate payroll figures using thousands of fake names, resulting in fraudulent disbursements.

Dr Ayine disclosed that the suspects will be prosecuted under the government’s “Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL)” initiative, aimed at recouping stolen state funds and ensuring accountability in public service.

In his response, Mr Ussif insisted he had served with “diligence and honesty” throughout his public life and looked forward to the opportunity to clear his name through the appropriate legal channels.
