Ghana’s Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has categorically denied allegations that he authorized payments to former Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong for a government contract.
In a statement, shared on X on February 23, 2025, Dr. Forson emphasized that no payments have been made to contractors since he took office.
“Since I took office, no contractor—including Kennedy Agyapong—has been paid a pesewa,” Dr. Forson stated.
“We are currently conducting a comprehensive review of all contracts and payment requests to verify their legitimacy.”
He urged the public to disregard any claims suggesting he had approved such payments, saying, “Please disregard any claims suggesting that I have authorized payment to Kennedy Ohene Agyapong or any other contractor.”
This move is part of a broader effort to scrutinize contracts signed under the previous administration.
