The Minority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has rejected claims by the Director of Communications for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), to the effect that he was part of Bank of Ghana’s board when it commenced processes for the construction of its new head office building.
According to him, the claims are completely false and should be dismissed my all well-meaning Ghanaians.
In statement issued on Saturday, August 12, the former Deputy Finance Minister said the BoG under the erstwhile Mahama administration never awarded any contract for construction of a new head office.
He thus challenged Mr Ahiagbah to provide any contrary evidence in his possession to back his claim.
“For the records, the Bank of Ghana under the erstwhile Mahama/NDC administration never awarded a contract for the construction of this new Head Office.”
“We, therefore challenge the likes of Ahiagbah and his NPP apologists to show evidence to the contrary if they have any.”
“Second, the Bank of Ghana never purchased a land anywhere in Accra for the construction of a new Head Office building,” he said.
Dr Ato Forson still maintained that the construction of the project is unnecessary and should be aborted by the central bank
