The Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has dismissed claims that he authorized a government contract payment to former Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong.
In a post on X on February 23, 2025, Dr. Forson clarified that no payments have been made to any contractor since he assumed office. He emphasized that his ministry is currently reviewing all payment requests related to contracts awarded under the previous Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration.
“Since I took office, no contractor—including Kennedy Agyapong—has been paid a pesewa. We are currently conducting a comprehensive review of all contracts and payment requests to verify their legitimacy,” he stated.
Dr. Forson further urged the public to disregard any reports suggesting that he had approved payments to Kennedy Agyapong or any other contractor.
