The Secretary to the President, Nana Bediatuo Asante, has described reports that he has bought the Holiday Inn Hotel in Accra for his wife as false.
A public notice issued by his lawyers said: “We are instructed to inform the general public that there is [not one] iota of truth in the rumours. We state unequivocally that neither our client nor his wife has purchased or has any interest whatsoever in the said Holiday Inn Hotel.
“Indeed, several persons, including media practitioners both in Ghana and abroad, have contacted our clients to inform him of these rumours,” the notice said.
It added that the reports are attempts to tarnish his hard-won reputation.
“It is obvious that the deliberate circulation of these rumours [is] intended to paint our client in a negative light in view of the very senior position he holds in government.”
