Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has denied allegations of approving a $1.7 million single-source procurement contract, describing the claims as entirely false.
In a Facebook post, Dr Forson dismissed the accusations as “baseless and misleading,” urging the public to disregard them.
The Minister emphasized that his ministry has not authorized any procurement contracts and reaffirmed his commitment to transparency and responsible economic governance.
“My attention has been drawn to yet another baseless and misleading claim circulating about an alleged $1.7 million single-source procurement contract approved by me.
“This claim is completely false and should be disregarded. Let me state clearly and categorically: I have not approved any procurements since I took office as Minister. My focus remains on ensuring transparency, accountability, and responsible economic management in the best interest of Ghana,” he stated.
He reiterated that his priority is to foster fiscal responsibility and ensure due process in all financial transactions.
Meanwhile, the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) has also disassociated itself from approving any such contract.
