Former Minister Kobina Tahir Hammond has rejected claims that a GH¢89.4 million debt related to the government's One District One Factory initiative was fake. Hammond described the allegations as absurd and an attempt to damage his reputation.
The controversy stems from findings in a Bank Transfer Advice, which suggested the debt was not real. Hammond's strong rebuttal was made in response to this report.
He has issued a public warning to the Attorney General. Hammond demands that the report presented to Parliament be withdrawn immediately.
If the report is not withdrawn, Hammond stated he will pursue legal action. He indicated he plans to meet the Attorney General in court.
This statement comes as part of an ongoing discussion about financial transparency in government programs.
The dispute highlights concerns over accountability in public funds management.
Ghana Police Service is monitoring the situation.
Further details are expected as the situation develops.
