The Secretary to the President, Nana Bediatuo Asante, has described claims making the rounds on social media that he has sold the Accra Arts Centre to a private investor as “blatant lies”.
An unidentified woman is heard in a sound recording alleging that she facilitated a meeting between Bediatuo Asante and some chiefs for the sale of the centre.
“I wish to put on record that I have never met this unnamed, unidentified woman or the elders and the chiefs she claims she brought to meet with me,” a statement from Nana Asante said.
“Baseless allegations”
He added: “She does not state the date of the meeting, the place where the meeting took place and the names of the elders and chiefs who accompanied her to the alleged meeting. That is because the so-called meeting never took place, or at least not with me.
“Ordinarily, I will not dignify such baseless allegations with a response to give [them] oxygen in the media space. However, such false allegations in the manner presented can be believed by some people.
“I therefore consider it necessary to put out this statement because the allegations made in the audio recording have no iota of truth, are pure fabrications and are malicious.”
