Asante Berko bribery case: Former Power Minister denies demanding or receiving share of $1m bribe

Former Power Minister Kwabena Donkor has denied demanding or receiving any bribe in the Asante Berko US case and threatened legal action over publications he says could damage his reputation.

The former Power Minister says he never met Berko and had no knowledge of any alleged request for money made in his name.

The allegations stem from the US prosecution of Asante Berko, a former Goldman Sachs banker who is accused of participating in a scheme to bribe Ghanaian officials to secure a power plant project in Ghana.
