Vincent Ekow Assafuah is the Member of Parliament for Old Tafo. He has disagreed with Ato Boateng's explanation. Mr. Boateng is the Deputy Chief Executive of Finance and Administration at COCOBOD.
Mr. Boateng addressed concerns about a conflict of interest. This involved shares in Atlas Commodities Limited. Reports from a reliable source earlier today stated that Mr. Boateng had been cleared by the COCOBOD board to dispose of his shares.
The MP claimed that Mr. Boateng was still the main beneficiary of a trust. This trust held shares in the company as of last Friday. This statement contradicts Mr. Boateng's defense.
The matter involves Mr. Boateng and his alleged ownership in Atlas Commodities Limited. Atlas Commodities Limited is a company that had dealings with COCOBOD. The concerns stemmed from a complaint about a conflict of interest in his role.
