Ms Gyankroma Akufo-Addo, the daughter of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has threatened legal suit over the resurfaced $25m interchange painting allegation.
She once again denied allegations that she received $25 million to paint interchanges in Accra.
According to Gyankroma Akufo-Addo, such claims are “entirely absurd and false.”
She boldly asserted that no such contract has ever existed, been proposed, or awarded to her.
Gyankroma Akufo-Addo detailed that she has instructed her lawyers to take immediate legal action against persons and media outlets responsible for circulating the claims.
In a public statement issued on Friday, March 27, Ms Gyankroma Akufo-Addo dismissed the allegations, saying, “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”.
She further clarified, “
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”
The allegations stem from claims by a social media commentator that she was paid $25 million to paint murals in parts of the capital city.
In another statement responding to the allegations, some years ago, she wrote, “In August 2018, Art for All was conceived. Its purpose was to beautify our capital city of Accra, to give a platform to our Ghanaian artists, to build art appreciation for its audience, and to serve as a beautiful backdrop for videos, or photoshoots and be a tourist attraction
Each site had a six-week workshop process to identify themes, locations, and artists. Each site was paid for with funds largely from the private sector, sourced solely by the Creative Arts Agency. No contract to paint a succession of bridges or underpasses has either been conceived, has ever been offered, or has ever been accepted. Indeed, any tender or contract awarded for such a project would have been made public.
For the avoidance of any doubt, it is important to state that these projects were solely conceived, managed, and financially undertaken by The Creative Arts Agency, through its own fundraising activities.
Site 1, Ako Adjei, was funded by the private sector.
Site 2, Tetteh Quarshie, was paid for by myself, Gyankroma Akufo-Addo
Site 3 was completed through the generosity of the creatively minded Ben Asante, CEO of Ghana Gas, understanding its social community importance.
The paint used for each site, again, was provided by Coral Paints and its CEO, who understands the importance of pushing visibility of Ghanaian artists. The absurdity of $25 million, or any amount for that matter, being awarded to myself to undertake this project is a disgusting narrative.
It is a complete fabrication being propagated by some shameless persons, and which, unfortunately, has been published by sections of the media. This project was not embarked upon to make a profit, and there have been no lucrative contracts awarded for it
All efforts to undermine my credibility through the publication of these falsehoods and baseless lies will not wash. I have instructed my lawyer to seek redress in the law courts against persons and media houses that published these falsehoods with the sole intention of destroying my reputation”.
