Former Executive Secretary of the Creative Arts Agency, Gyankroma Akufo-Addo, has denied receiving US$25 million in a government contract to paint interchanges in Accra.
In a statement, the daughter of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo unequivocally stated that the claim is false.
“No such contract has ever existed, been offered, or been awarded,” she said, challenging any individual, media platform, or commentator with a copy of the said contract to publish it.
She clarified that the Art for All projects, which saw interchanges in Accra being painted, were privately conceived and executed through the Creative Arts Agency, funded through a combination of private sector support and personal contributions.
She has since directed her lawyers to initiate legal actions against persons and media outlets peddling the said information, as she deems the false narrative to be deliberately calculated to mislead the public and damage her reputation.
“I have today instructed my lawyers to take immediate legal action against the individuals, platforms, and media outlets responsible for publishing and amplifying these falsehoods. I will not allow deliberate misinformation to go unchallenged.”
