COCOBOD has hit back at former President John Mahama after he denied allegations that he ordered for the construction of a guest house in his hometown Bole for his personal benefit.
The Chief Executive Officer of COCOBOD, Joseph Boahen Aidoo says Mahama’s comment is a very weak attempt laced with half-truths to counter a factual statement.
Earlier, Boahen Aidoo accused former President Mahama of influencing the construction of an “unnecessary guest house” using funds belonging to COCOBOD.
However, the former President relpied saying the Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana (CRIG) Research Station Guest House in Bole has been in existence since 1975, and “could not possibly have been constructed during the tenure of President Mahama.
The assertion therefore that he influenced its construction is also false,” a statement from the office of the former President read.
But COCOBOD has hit back in a new statement describing the words of former President Mahama as half-truth.
