NSS Scandal: Acting National Service Boss Felix Gyamfi reassigned to Finance Ministry

The Acting Director-General of the National Service Authority (NSA), Felix Gyamfi, has been reassigned to the Ministry of Finance after serving in the post for seven months.

Mr Gyamfi was appointed in January 2025 at a time when information about The Fourth Estate’s investigations had raised public concerns about the existence of ghost names in the NSA database and doubts about the institutional integrity of the CSMP/Metric App used in recruiting service personnel.

The decision to reassign Mr Felix Gyamfi follows what appeared to be a disagreement between him and the Minister for Youth Development and Empowerment, George Opare Addo, about the propriety of the NSA’s CMSP/Metric App, which was reported by The Fourth Estate.

The Minister had issued a fresh directive for the immediate termination of the system, which has been embroiled in the ghost names scandal. But the acting Director-General, in response, said the system is suitable for the NSA to continue using it.
