The First Lady, Mrs Ernestina Naadu Mills, has categorically denied ever receiving $5 million from embattled businessman Alfred Woyome, as claimed by Director of Operations of Friends of Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings (FONKAR), Ernest Owusu-Bempah.
Ernest Owusu-Bempah, in his umpteenth and perhaps most abrasive attack on the Mills administration, on Thursday accused the First Lady in flowery Twi on Boiling Point, a political discussion programme on Accra-based Oman FM that "Mrs. Naadu Mills collected $5 million from the Woyome judgment debt, an amount which he got with no contract arrangement with the government of Ghana.�
But government has stridently denied the allegation describing it as �false, baseless and unfounded".
A statement issued by a Deputy Minister of Information, James Agyenim-Boateng, said "there is no iota of truth in the said allegation.�
�The attention of the Office of the First Lady, Her Excellency Mrs Naadu Mills, has been drawn to a publication claiming that she has benefitted from a five million dollar donation from Mr Alfred Woyome.
�The First Lady categorically denies being a beneficiary of any such payment as purported by the story,� the statement added.
