Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta has denied reports that he contradicted President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Reports, after the Finance Minister went to Parliament on Tuesday, indicated that the $100 million devoted by President Akufo-Addo to fight coronavirus pandemic is not yet available.
Meanwhile, the National Democratic Congress(NDC) has accused President Akufo-Addo of deceit after reports that the money he claimed was available was actually yet to come.
However, during Wednesday’s edition of Peace FM's morning show ‘Kokrokoo’, the Managing Editor of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Kweku Baako Jnr. disclosed that the Finance Minister debunked making those claims in a telephone conversation.
"I called the Finance Minister for his side of the story . . . and (he said) as far as he is concerned, he did not tell the House that Ghana is incapable of mobilizing it or the money is non-existence," he added.

Wow. Its so difficult to speak wisdom to ***barred word***. God please help us.
Mr. Kweku Baako is a journalist, and he said, the Finance Minister Ofori-Ata in a telephone conversation with him debunked the claim that the $100 million was not available. In other words, Mr. Baako is saying in his capacity as a journalist, cross-checked the speculation making the news that the coronavirus $100 million was not available and that the President lied. The Finance Minister Mr. Ofori-Ata said it is not true, that the President lied!
So kweku baako, you want us to believe you simply because you are telling us? Bentua!
