President Nana Akufo-Addo has denied claims that Ghana donated one million dollars for the reconstruction of France’s centuries-old Notre Dame which got razed by a huge fire in mid-April.
The April 15 disaster downed the French Medieval Catholic Cathedral to the dismay of the world.
"I have not done it, not one dollar of Ghana money has gone to support the rehabilitation of Notre Dame", the president answered to a question asked by a Ghanaian in Canada who sought to know why the rumoured donation was made.
The president, who is on a three-day visit to the North American country said: "These are matters that can very easily be ascertained”, adding: “The Controller and Accountant-General is there in Accra and he will tell you when you go and ask him that not one dollar, not one cent has been paid by Ghana to the reconstruction of Notre Dame".
“There are a lot of rich people in France and they can take care of their own Notre Dame”, the president added.
