Osei Assibey Antwi, a former boss of the National Security, appeared in court. He pleaded not guilty to 21 new charges.

These charges are connected to a large scandal involving the National Service Scheme.

The scandal is about ghost names of workers. These names were used to claim millions of Ghana cedis.

Prosecutors say that GH¢431.8 million was lost through this scheme.

Mr. Assibey Antwi is accused of playing a role in this financial loss.

He has now denied all charges brought against him.

The court is expected to set a date for the next hearing.

This case highlights investigations into public fund mismanagement.
