In a Facebook post on March 22, 2025, Dr. Forson dismissed the reports, urging the public to disregard them. He reaffirmed his commitment to transparency and responsible governance, making it clear that he has not sanctioned any procurement deals since assuming office.

“My attention has been drawn to yet another baseless and misleading claim circulating about an alleged $1.7 million single-source procurement contract approved by me. This claim is completely false and should be disregarded.”

Dr. Forson emphasized that his primary focus is on ensuring accountability and sound economic management for Ghana.

“Let me state clearly and categorically: I have not approved any procurements since I took office as Minister. My focus remains on ensuring transparency, accountability, and responsible economic management in the best interest of Ghana.”

The allegations have sparked public interest, with some critics demanding further clarification and evidence. Others view this as part of a broader political narrative aimed at discrediting the Finance Minister amid Ghana’s economic challenges.

As the controversy unfolds, all eyes will be on the government’s response and whether any official investigations will be launched to verify the claims.
