A Detailed Breakdown of Key Suspects in ORAL’s Investigation into the NSS Scandal
ORAL’s probe into the NSS scandal has identified 22 individuals and entities of interest.
These suspects are grouped into two main categories:
Category A: 12 current and former personnel of the National Service Secretariat (NSS) are alleged to have played direct roles in the irregularities.
Category B: A selection of vendors and service providers who have been implicated for their involvement in questionable transactions linked to the scandal.
Dr Justice Srem Sai, speaking on JoyNews’ PM Express on Wednesday, disclosed that this is just one part of a broader investigation into financial irregularities at the Scheme.
“National Service is in different aspects,” he explained. “There’s an aspect of the projects the secretariat undertakes. They have farms where they acquire property, grow and sell produce. Then there’s the issue of paying ghost National Service persons.”
The investigators, he said, have so far only completed their work on the ghost names.
“It was submitted last week by the investigators. We have started building a docket on that.”
That specific report, he confirmed, implicates 22 individuals. “When the investigators came, they identified 22 accused persons for the ghost names part.”
