Ghana president’s daughter denies receiving $25m contract

One of the daughters of Ghanaian President Akufo-Addo has denied receiving a government contract of $25m (£22m) to paint murals in parts of the capital, Accra.

Gyankroma Akufo-Addo said such allegations were a “complete fabrication being propagated by some shameless persons”.

She said the three sites painted by her Creative Arts Agency company were conceived, managed and financed privately.

“This project was not embarked upon to make profit, and there have been no lucrative contracts awarded for it,” she said in a statement.

She said she would seek redress in court against people and media houses that published falsehoods on the project.
