Former Minister for Trade and Industry Kobina Tahir Hammond is demanding the withdrawal of a report presented to Parliament. The report allegedly links the One District One Factory program to a GH¢89.4 million debt.
Hammond has described the claims within the report as false and a deliberate effort to harm his reputation. He specifically calls the allegations preposterous.
The controversy stems from findings contained in a Bank Transfer Advice document. This document is part of the report submitted to Parliament.
Hammond has issued a strong warning to the Attorney General. He stated that if the report is not withdrawn, he will pursue legal action.
The specific details of the Bank Transfer Advice and its connection to the debt have not been fully disclosed. The Attorney General's office has not yet responded to Hammond's demand.
Hammond's stance indicates a significant dispute over the government's financial programs. The outcome of this confrontation could have implications for accountability.
