Felix Gyamfi, Director-General of the National Service Authority (NSA)
The Director-General of the National Service Authority (NSA), Felix Gyamfi, has assured the public that security measures have been implemented to curb illegal payments made to influence service postings.
This move follows an investigative report by The Fourth Estate, which uncovered the alleged existence of ghost names in National Service postings.
According to a report by 3news.com on April 2, 2025, Gyamfi emphasised his commitment to cracking down on “special postings,” a term used to describe postings influenced by illegal payments.
“National Service re-posting is just fraud. There will be no additional postings to companies after they have officially communicated the number of service personnel they require. Security measures are in place to detect any unauthorized changes in the system, even down to a single letter,” he assured.
Gyamfi also urged parents and prospective service personnel to accept their assigned postings.
“National Service is not a punishment; it should be something you enjoy doing. I have no malicious intent in posting people to places where they would struggle,” he said.
He further revealed that a full-scale investigation is ongoing to identify those involved in the NSS ghost name scandal.
“The Attorney-General has taken up the matter, and we are awaiting the outcome of the investigation. If I have to take any action after the findings, I will do so without hesitation,” he assured.
