Former Trade Minister Kobina Tahir Hammond says allegations of a fictitious GH¢89.4 million debt are false. The debt is linked to the government’s One District One Factory program.
Hammond described the claims as "preposterous". He believes it is a deliberate effort to damage his reputation.
These allegations stem from findings in a Bank Transfer Advice report. The Attorney General is reportedly involved with this report.
Hammond is demanding the Attorney General withdraw this report. He has threatened legal action if the report remains in Parliament.
The former minister is prepared to challenge the report in court.
Further details about the report and its contents have not been made public.
The Ministry of Trade and Industry has not yet commented on the matter.
This situation raises questions about accountability in government programs.
