Anti-corruption crusader, Vitus Azeem has urged the Special Prosecutor to conduct a thorough investigation into the personal bank accounts and assets declaration records of the Chief Executive of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Kofi Nkansah.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor conducted an unexpected audit of the NEIP CEO’s office, arresting him on allegations of using NEIP funds for his personal political campaigns.

Mr. Nkansah has denied the allegation, noting that the monies transferred were to beneficiaries under the YouStart pilot project and not delegates. 

He has since been granted bail as investigations continue.

But Vitus Azeem believes it is easy for the Special Prosecutor to verify the source of funds, which would serve as proof of whether the person of interest is guilty or not of the charges levelled against him.

“In this particular case where the OSP is investigating, he can call for the personal asset declaration and look at it to see if the money that the person is using can be traced to what was pre-recorded in the asset declaration and to the person’s bank accounts,” he said.
