After Ken Ofori Atta appeared before Parliament to account for the COVID funds accrued and the expenditures made, some people formulated and capitalized on some allegations that Ken Ofori Atta had said that Government spent GHc 36 Million to design logo for the Agenda 111. They evidenced this allegation with the speech of Ken Ofori Atta. Because Ghanaians do not like reading and researching, they accepted that falsehood and begun spreading it. Today, the Fourth Estate has debunked and exposed these unfounded allegations and falsehoods.
Per their research, they discovered that Ken Ofori Atta never said that. Rather, what they found was that, NDC Member of Parliament and Ranking Member on the Finance Committee, Cassiel Ato Forson, was the one who made that statement. And even with that one, the context within which he quoted that figure was very different. This is what Cassiel Ato Forson said.
“You went on in your own document. You said that you paid 36 million for the design of the agenda 111. For who? For what purpose? Design of agenda 111. Mr Speaker, in the same document, page 100 of the mid-year review[2021], he went on to say, again stated here; and that’s why I am saying I commend him for the consistency.
Mr Speaker, he says here that agenda 111, January to December 2020, provision of health infrastructure agenda 111 600 million cedis. Mr. Speaker my question is, you spent 600 million cedis for agenda 111, a noble idea. But have they used the money?”
