I have been reading with curiosity comments from some people who argue that the problem with the NSS ghost names scandal was/is not about the digital platform or the so-called metric app. For such persons, those to be blamed for the scandal should be the NSS/NSA staff who were using the platform.

Surprisingly, those who make such arguments include the current Director General of the National Service Authority (NSA), Felix Gyamfi.

Before I go on to the substantive points, it is important to point out that the current Director General was a staff member (in fact, a District Director) of the NSS/NSA until his appointment this year. So he was within the NSS/NSA when the scheme was populated with thousands of ghost names, costing the nation hundreds of millions of cedis. He wasn't appointed from outside.

Now to the substantive response to those who say the ghost names digital platform is not the problem, but the NSS people who were using it. HERE ARE SOME FACTS FOR YOU

I hope that the relevant authorities will take the right step to terminate the ghost-name-infested NSA digital platform, save the nation from another major scandal.
