Gov’t dismisses claims over viral Mahama video, says remarks were taken out of context

He explained that President Mahama was speaking about the release of GH¢150 million to support post-flood mitigation efforts during a meeting with the National Security Coordinator.“The President clearly speaks of the ‘release’ of GHS 150 million, which was in direct reference to funds for post-flood mitigation works.

Mr Kwakye Ofosu said the President’s reference to the release of funds was specifically related to government’s response to the impact of recent floods and not for any other purpose.
