President John Dramani Mahama has ordered the immediate suspension of Divine Selasi Agbeti, the Director-General of the National Cyber Security Authority (NCSA), pending a full investigation by government authorities.

The two‑week suspension, issued via a directive dated July 15, 2025 and signed by Dr. Callistus Mahama, Secretary to the President, stems from allegations that Agbeti enlisted a uniformed military officer as a personal bodyguard at public events—allegedly committing a serious breach of protocol and national security norms.

The presidency described the use of a soldier in a civilian capacity during public appearances as “inappropriate and embarrassing to the government,” and a clear violation of the Code of Conduct for Public Appointees.

Appointed in March 2025, Agbeti succeeded Dr. Albert Antwi-Boasiako at the helm of NCSA. His suspension comes at a sensitive moment as the government intensifies efforts to strengthen Ghana’s cybersecurity architecture.

The suspension directive tasks the Ministry of Communications with collecting a written statement from Mr. Agbeti and conducting an impartial inquiry within a two-week window.

Upon conclusion, the findings will determine whether further disciplinary measures are warranted.

Mandate of Cyber Security Authority

The National Cyber Security Authority was established under the Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1038). Although its roots trace back to the National Cyber Security Secretariat (NCSS) in 2017 and later the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) in 2018, it officially commenced operations as the Cyber Security Authority on 1 October 2021, following the law’s passage.

Under the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology & Innovation, the CSA is tasked with:

Regulating all cybersecurity activities in Ghana

Preventing, managing, and responding to cybersecurity threats and incidents

Licensing critical infrastructure owners, cybersecurity service providers, and practitioners

Promoting cybersecurity capacity and ecosystem development

Coordinating cross‑sector collaboration—public and private

Educating the public and raising awareness on cybersecurity matters

Cooperating with international cybersecurity agencies and partners
