New developments have emerged in the ongoing trial of former National Signal Bureau (NSB) Director-General, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, suggesting that prior claims by the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, regarding the non-delivery of cyber defence systems are inaccurate.

In court, Dr. Ayine had stated: “Further investigations have revealed that no cybersecurity system of the description in the January 30, 2020, contract was ever received by the Bureau of National Communications or by its successor agency, the National Signals Bureau or by the Government of Ghana.

An inventory confirmation from the National Security Secretariat shows that the equipment was never received into stores as is the practice in the public services.”

Confirmation by I.S.C Holding Ltd

However, International Security Consulting Holding Ltd. (I.S.C HOLDING Ltd.), the Israeli-based company contracted to supply the system, has officially responded to these claims in a letter addressed to Samuel Atta Akyea, Esq., lead counsel to Mr. Adu-Boahene, dated May 28, 2025.

The company stated that all cyber defence systems procured by the NSB under the confidential January 30, 2020 agreement were, in fact, fully delivered to Ghana’s National Security as contracted.

The correspondence reads in part: “We hereby declare and for the avoidance of any doubt that: all Cyber defence systems, procured by the NSB, supplied under a confidential agreement signed on January 30th 2020, with an associated continuing service covenant, were fully delivered to Ghana’s National security.”

I.S.C HOLDING Ltd., which specialises in high-level security consultancy and has provided services to multiple governments and intelligence agencies worldwide, also emphasised its readiness for clarifications or formal engagements with Ghanaian authorities to verify the delivery and operational status of the system.

In the correspondence, ISC Holdings touted the credibility of its operations, noting: “Our consultants are seasoned professionals with extensive experience acquired through years of service in the Israeli Security Agency, and through international assignments supporting governmental, defense institutes, and intelligence agencies.”

The letter also stressed that the confirmation specifically pertains to the tenure of Mr. Adu-Boahene as Director-General of the National Signal Bureau.

“First, we take this opportunity to emphasizs that our response refers to Mr. Kwabena Adu-Boahene during his duty as Director-General of the National Signal Bureau,” the I.S.C Holding Ltd letter clarified.

It further reaffirmed the company’s reputation for delivering “confidential, cutting-edge security solutions” and pledged cooperation with any formal engagements deemed necessary by counsel.
