Documents show that a senior official at the Ghana Cocoa Board, Mr Ato Boateng, transferred his interest in a company. The company is called Atlas Commodities Ltd. This transfer took place before any conflict of interest accusations were made against him.
Old Tafo Member of Parliament, Mr Vincent Ekow Assafuah, accused Mr Boateng of having a conflict of interest. Mr Assafuah claimed Mr Boateng held interest in the company while working at COCOBOD.
However, the documents indicate Mr Boateng had already given up his interest in the company. This suggests the allegations might not be fully accurate.
Mr Boateng is a key figure at COCOBOD. His role involves important decisions for the cocoa industry in Ghana. Such allegations can affect public trust in the institution.
No legal action has been taken based on these allegations. The documents provide new details for ongoing discussions.
