Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has dismissed allegations that he approved payments for a government contract for a former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong.
In a post shared on X on February 23, 2025, the minister stated that no contract payment had been made to any contractor since he assumed office.
He emphasized that his office is currently reviewing all payment requests for government contracts entered into by the previous Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration.
"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," part of his post reads.
He added, "Please disregard any claims suggesting that I have authorized payment to Kennedy Ohene Agyapong or any other contractor."

Ato be bold and come out with the truth. You guys engaged Kennedy to destroy Bawumia's and the Npp with the promise of paying him his accumulated money from contracts got from Nana Addo in case Ndc won the elections. No wonder you guys used most of his castigated utterances and rhetorical languages as a playback in your campaign loud speakers. Now the chicken has come back home to roost so you got to pay him. It was a contract and can never be broken.
