Dr Forson said the claim is “baseless and misleading”.
He insisted that he hasn’t approved any procurement contracts since taking office.
He maintained that since assuming office, he has not authorised any procurement contracts.
“My attention has been drawn to yet another baseless and misleading claim circulating about an alleged $1.7 million single-source procurement contract approved by me,” he stated.
“This claim is completely false and should be disregarded. Let me state clearly and categorically: I have not approved any procurements since I took office as Minister. My focus remains on ensuring transparency, accountability, and responsible economic management in the best interest of Ghana.”
The Finance Minister reassured the public of his steadfast dedication to maintaining moral principles in the administration of Ghana’s economy.
