President Nana Akufo-Addo has denied claims that Ghana donated one million dollars for the reconstruction of France’s centuries-old Notre Dame which got razed by a huge fire in mid-April.
The April 15 disaster downed the French Medieval Catholic Cathedral to the dismay of the world.
"I have not done it, not one dollar of Ghana money has gone to support the rehabilitation of Notre Dame", the president answered to a question asked by a Ghanaian in Canada who sought to know why the rumoured donation was made.
The president, who is on a three-day visit to the North American country said: "These are matters that can very easily be ascertained”, adding: “The Controller and Accountant-General is there in Accra and he will tell you when you go and ask him that not one dollar, not one cent has been paid by Ghana to the reconstruction of Notre Dame".
“There are a lot of rich people in France and they can take care of their own Notre Dame”, the president added.

@ Ben, so why don't you check before drawing conclusions. AGAINST GO CRY MAA MAA.
@ Ben whether after thought or before thought he has answered the question. Please go and verify and stop disturbing our ears. Who has asked about this question before that you think the President is refusing to answer. Things are shaping up properly in Ghana however slowly and it's time people like you commend the President and urge him on to take this country far!!!
This is a clear after thought. If Ghanaians are not wide awake and have not been raising the issue he wouldn't have answered this question. This issue has been around for about a month, so why did he choose to address outside Ghana. The man and his entire government are confused. I Ghanaians had been spectators he would have donated such amount. We are going to check with the controller and accountant general to be sure whether he is lying because lying is his stock in trade.
