The Executive Secretary of the President, lawyer Nana Bediatuo Asante, has denied claims that he has been engaged in haggling over the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR)-Torentco deal.
In a rejoinder issued on his behalf by his lawyers, Marfo and Associates, the Executive Secretary refuted the allegations that Torentco is his “baby” and that he is attempting to hand over TOR to another company for free.
He was responding to the publication by The Herald Newspaper.
The paper alleged that Nana Bediatuo Asante had been involved in protracted negotiations regarding the TOR State Facility.
But his lawyers in the rejoinder denied the allegations stating that “Our client does not have any dealings with the subject matter referred to supra, and the same cannot be said to be the baby of our client. Moreover, our client has not haggled with anyone for the said TOR Facility.”
The lawyers further warned the newspaper to desist from orchestrating false publications about their client.
“We are instructed to notify you to stop the deliberate orchestration of false publication about our client and to take steps to verify any information prior to publication in accordance with the ethics of the journalism profession and the standards of the Ghana Journalist Association.”
