Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, former Energy Minister and the 2024 Vice Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has disclosed that the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) is investigating him regarding his tenure at the Ministry of Education.
Speaking to journalists in Accra on June 4, 2025, Dr. Opoku Prempeh popularly known as NAPO revealed that he had been invited twice by the NIB to assist with inquiries concerning his time in office.
“As I speak to you now, I have been invited by the NIB on two different occasions to answer some questions from my time as Education Minister some issues I don’t even remember. But the records are there to show,” he stated.
This revelation comes amid a broader investigative push by the new administration under President John Dramani Mahama, which has launched probes into the activities of former government appointees.
Multiple security agencies have reportedly intensified scrutiny of dealings from the previous government.
Among those under investigation is Bernard Antwi Boasiako, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, commonly known as Chairman Wontumi. He is being investigated by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) for alleged money laundering and corruption.
Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama has disclosed that the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice is compiling 33 cases of corruption and related offences against former government officials.
These cases stem from the efforts of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Team, an anti-corruption task force formed by President Mahama following his 2024 election victory.
The ORAL Team has been tasked with gathering intelligence on suspected corruption, particularly within the previous administration, and forwarding cases to the relevant authorities for action
