Former Deputy Minister of Power under the erstwhile Mahama government, John Abdulai Jinapor, has debunked reports that he owes the Metro Mass company a huge amount of money.

A list of former government appointees allegedly owing the state owned company, has gone viral on social media.

One of the reports alleged that, John Abdulai Jinapor owes the transport company an amount of GHC800 after settling GHC43,000 arrears.

Other names on the alleged list include, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Ras Mubarak, Dzifa Attivor, Mahama Ayariga, among others.

However, John Jinapor has flatly denied the allegation, saying the move is a calculated attempt to intimidate him.

Below is a statetment on his Facebook page:
