Matthew Opoku-Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO and the 2024 New Patriotic Party (NPP) vice-presidential candidate, has confirmed that he was invited by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) for questioning regarding his time as Minister of Education under the previous Nana Akufo-Addo administration.
In an interview with 1957 News, widely circulated on social media, Dr. Opoku-Prempeh stated that he voluntarily appeared before the agency and provided the necessary information as part of his responsibility as a former public official.
Dr. Opoku-Prempeh explained that he has attended two sessions at the NIB and cooperated fully with the investigation, despite not recalling every detail from his time in office.
He emphasized the role of technocrats and officials who support record-keeping in government ministries.
He further stressed the importance of transparency and accountability in public service, urging current political leaders to govern with integrity, knowing that power is temporary and accountability inevitable.
His comments come amid reports that the NIB is intensifying investigations into administrative conduct and financial decisions of former government officials, including other notable figures such as Professor Ameyaw Ekumfi and Kwaku Ohene Gyan.
