The Communications Director at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin on Thursday, issued a release reflecting the stance of the President following the airing of the documentary.

Portions of the statement read, “President Akufo-Addo has subsequently referred the allegations involving conflict of Interest to the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice – CHRAJ and those relating to potential acts of corruption to the office of the Special Prosecutor for their prompt action.”

This quick reaction from the President triggered a positive response from the journalist who wrote, “The swift response by the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufi-Addo to #ContractsForSale is very commendable. The suspension and referral of the case to CHRAJ and the OSP are very appropriate.”
