Accra: State prosecutors in the corruption case involving former National Service Authority (NSA) Director, Osei Assibey Antwi, have announced plans to amend the charge sheet against him.
According to Ghana Web, prosecutors informed the court on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, that a performance audit of the National Service Authority, submitted to the Attorney General, Dr. Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, highlighted the need to amend the earlier charge sheet. They have requested a short adjournment to allow for the necessary changes.
Assibey Antwi is facing allegations of authorizing payments totaling GHS500,861,744.02 in allowances to over 60,000 fictitious national service personnel and misappropriating GHS106 million from the NSA's Kumawu Farm Project for personal use. He has pleaded not guilty to the 14 charges, including causing financial loss, theft, and money laundering.
The case has been adjourned to Tuesday, February 25, 2026, to give the prosecution time to revise the charge sheet and for Assibey Antwi's plea to be retaken. In related developments, the Attorney General reported that GHS8.2 million was paid into the former NSA Director's E-zwich account.
The former NSA Director was initially granted GHS800 million bail on October 30, 2025, with Justice Kizita Naa Koowa Quarshie requiring six sureties, each secured by landed property. After failing to meet these conditions, his lawyers applied for a variation of the bail terms. In December 2025, the court revised the bail to GHS120 million with two sureties, down from the previously reduced GHS630 million.
