Former Minister for Trade and Industry Kobina Tahir Hammond has threatened legal action against government officials. He is demanding the withdrawal of a report implicating him in a GH¢89.4 million debt. The report is linked to the One District One Factory initiative.
Hammond described the allegations as "preposterous" and a deliberate attempt to harm his reputation. He stated the claims were fictitious and untrue.
The controversy stems from findings presented in a Bank Transfer Advice document. This document was reportedly submitted to Parliament.
Hammond has specifically called out the Attorney General and another official identified as Ato. He demands they retract the report from Parliament.
Failure to comply, he warned, will result in a court challenge. The former minister believes the report is a form of character assassination.
He insists the alleged debts are not real but manufactured. This situation points to a significant disagreement over financial accountability in a government program.
The specific details of the Bank Transfer Advice have not been fully disclosed. Further information is expected as the situation develops.
