The Corporate Services Executive of MTN - a mobile telephony company -  Mawuena Dumor, has denied that she or her company held any secret meeting with the opposition NDC as indicated in  a story published in the Wednesday, December 24, 2008 edition of The Statesman under the heading,"MTN, NDC in secret meeting.'

The company insisted the story was 'utterly false, completely inaccurate and a malicious fabrication without merit or substance,' and that she (Dumor) was no where near Tamale in the Northern Region or close to the alleged hotels mentioned in the story.

A statement issued on behalf of the Company by Ms Dumor maintained that there was no meeting between MTN and the National Democratic Congress as mentioned in the publication.

'On the said date, 20 December, 2008, that the alleged meeting was held, the MTN executive mentioned in the story was in Accra observing the one-week funeral rites of her mother who passed on a week earlier.

'MTN is an organization that is politically neutral and will remain committed to working with all stakeholders in developing Ghana's democracy', she underscored.
