The Director-General of Ghana’s National Cyber Security Authority (NCSA), Divine Selasi Agbeti, has been suspended for two weeks following a directive from the Office of the President. This measure comes amid an ongoing investigation into allegations that Mr. Agbeti employed a uniformed military officer as a personal bodyguard during public functions without obtaining the necessary authorization.
According to reliable sources, the complaint originated from the Office of the President, prompting swift action from the Minister for Communications. The suspension directive enables a comprehensive probe into the alleged misconduct, ensuring a thorough and impartial review of the situation.
A formal letter dated July 15, 2025, signed by the Secretary to the President, Dr. Callistus Mahama, communicates the presidency’s strong disapproval of Mr. Agbeti’s actions. The letter explicitly labels the use of a uniformed soldier in this capacity as “inappropriate,” emphasizing that the incident has cast an unfavorable light on the government.
The two-week suspension period is intended to afford the relevant authorities adequate time to conclude their investigation. Based on the findings, further disciplinary measures may be considered to uphold the standards expected of public officials. This development underscores the government’s commitment to accountability and proper conduct within its agencies.
