Former Minister for Trade and Industry, Kobina Tahir Hammond, has threatened legal action against the Attorney General and Ato Forson. He demands they remove a report from Parliament concerning the One District One Factory program.
The report allegedly links an GH¢89.4 million debt to the program. Mr. Hammond has strongly rejected these claims. He called the allegations preposterous and a deliberate effort to damage his reputation.
This controversy stems from findings detailed in a Bank Transfer Advice document. The specifics of these findings have not been fully detailed in public statements.
Mr. Hammond feels personally targeted by the report's contents. He believes the allegations are untrue and unfair.
The Minister has not yet filed a lawsuit but has issued a stern warning. He awaits the withdrawal of the report from parliamentary proceedings.
Legal experts are watching the situation closely. The outcome could set a precedent for how such reports are handled.
