Ghanaian businessman and leader of ‘The New Force’ Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar has asked why the government refunded Ghc10,000 to them after the cancellation for The Convention event.
He revealed that he paid GH₵30,000 to secure the Black Star Square for the event but was asked to cancel due to an unforeseen state event.
The Office of the President in a release said the New Africa Foundation organizers of the event would have GH₵10,000 refunded to them.
The release said “the decision was necessitated by unforeseen State Event scheduled to take place at that venue.”
But in an interview on Accra-based TV3, the businessman said “First of all, the receipt that we got is GH₵30,000 but if the government is showing GH₵10,000, it’s minus two-thirds. Is this how the whole country behaves in everything that we do, in our taxes? We have paid the money and you have issued us a receipt of 30,000 Cedis”.
The amount was paid under the New Africa Foundation, which is a non-profit organization, he revealed.
Meanwhile, the government has also claimed that the money was paid under the name of the Black Star Line.
