The Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has strongly refuted allegations suggesting that he authorized a payment to former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, for a government contract.
In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter) on February 23, 2025, Dr. Forson clarified that no payments had been made to any contractor since he assumed office. He emphasized that his office is currently conducting a thorough review of all payment requests related to government contracts that were signed 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," Dr. Forson stated in his post.
"Please disregard any claims suggesting that I have authorized payment to Kennedy Ohene Agyapong or any other contractor," Dr. Forson concluded.
