STATEMENT
My attention has once again been drawn to the circulation of entirely absurd and false claims alleging that I received $25 million to paint interchanges in Accra.
Let me state, again, unequivocally and for the record:
This claim is completely false. No such contract has ever existed, been offered, or been awarded.
If any individual, media platform, or commentator is in possession of such a contract, I challenge them to produce it publicly.
They will not because it does not exist.
The Art for All projects were privately conceived and executed through the Creative Arts Agency, funded through a combination of private sector support and personal contributions. These facts have been publicly stated before and remain unchanged.
The deliberate revival and spread of this fabrication particularly across social media platforms is a calculated attempt to mislead the public and damage my reputation.
Accordingly, I have today instructed my lawyers to take immediate legal action against the individuals, platforms, and media outlets responsible for publishing and amplifying these falsehoods.
I will not allow deliberate misinformation to go unchallenged.
