Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), Sulemana Braimah is mounting pressure on Attorney-General Dr Dominic Ayine to name the lawmaker to whom money was allegedly paid to to kill a story in relation to the National Service Scheme (NSS) scandal.

He says that it will be in the interest of transparency and also to protect the reputation of Parliament if the Attorney-General mentions the name of the legislator.

During a press conference in Accra on Monday March 24, Dr Dominic Ayine, said that monies were allegedly paid by the Chief Executive Officer and other officials of the National Service Authority (NSA) to a Member of Parliament to ostensibly influence the media to kill the NSS ghost names investigations.

Dr. Ayine disclosed that eight suspects linked to the National Service Scheme scandal had been interrogated, with several providing incriminating evidence.

“Because these matters are still under investigation, I can confirm that the investigation will conclude in the National Service and the Sky Train Scandal by the middle of April for the prosecution to begin.

“With the National Service Scandal, eight suspects have been interrogated and a good number of them have started singing. We now have evidence of payments that were made into the accounts of the top executives of the National Service by private vendors of the scheme.

“We also have evidence that in November 2024, the CEO of the NSS and others paid a Ghanaian Member of Parliament to kill the story in the media and to defend them,” he stated.

But in a post on his Facebook page, Sulemena Braimah said “We call on the Attorney General (AG) to name the said MP to whom money was given to kill the story. Doing so will be in the interest of transparency and also to protect the reputation of Parliament.”
