No payments made to contractors, including Ken Agyapong – Ato Forson

The Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has categorically denied claims of authorising payment to Kennedy Agyapong, former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, for a government contract.

In his post on X on February 23, 2025, Dr. Forson asserted that no contractor has received payment since he assumed office.

The Minister emphasised that his office is meticulously reviewing all payment requests tied to government contracts signed during the previous administration led by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

“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,” the post read.

The Minister of Finance urged the public to disregard any reports claiming he authorized certain payments.

“Please disregard any claims suggesting that I have authorised payment to Kennedy Ohene Agyapong or any other contractor,” he wrote.
