The Acting Director of the Ghana National Service Authority (NSA), Felix Gyamfi, has revealed more irregularities at the secretariat, citing the disappearance of essential machines.
According to him, a borehole drilling machine that went missing months ago at Anyinam in the Eastern Region under the former management was recently found in Swedru in the Central Region.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, Mr. Gyamfi stated that the missing borehole machine is not an isolated case, as several other machines, including tractors and combine harvesters, remain unaccounted for.
He explained that these machines were meant to support work on NSA farms and enhance productivity but have been mismanaged over the years.
“When I took over the scheme on January 23, borehole machines that were supposed to be available were nowhere to be found. These machines have been in operation for years, yet no one could account for the revenue generated from them,” he disclosed.
“After two weeks, we uncovered a borehole drilling machine that went missing in Anyinam, now found in Swedru. It is currently in police custody,” he added.
Beyond this, Mr. Gyamfi revealed that the NSA also purchased a faulty payloader, which has been abandoned on their farms at Ejura.
“There is a lot of work to be done. I am even unsure whether to have the machine transported or leave it there. The challenges are overwhelming,” he lamented.
Despite these setbacks, he assured the public of his commitment to reforming the NSA and positioning it as a world-class institution by the end of his tenure.
