MP for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, has raised concerns about what he believes is the National Pensions Regulatory Authority’s deliberate silence regarding alleged politically motivated staff transfers said to have cost nearly GHS 1 million.
Speaking at a press briefing on Sunday, April 19, 2026, he described the Authority’s failure to address the allegation in its official statement as deeply troubling.
He emphasised that, in his view, this is one of the most serious issues raised, yet it was not addressed at all.
“It is particularly telling that in their entire response, the NPRA chose to address several issues but completely avoided one of the most serious allegations,” he said.
“Not a word was offered—no denial, no clarification, no justification.”
Mr Assafuah argued that such silence cannot be dismissed as oversight, describing it instead as a calculated attempt to avoid scrutiny.
“This silence is not accidental. It is deliberate,” he stressed.
He insisted that Ghanaian workers, whose pension contributions fund the Authority, have a right to understand why such transfers are being undertaken at significant cost.
“Silence, in this instance, cannot be mistaken for innocence,” he added.
The MP called for full disclosure on the matter, warning that unexplained expenditure within the pensions sector undermines public trust and raises broader governance concerns.
