Mr Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey, Minister of Information and Presidential Affairs has said that ?no contract valued at ?2m or any other amount of money or currency has been awarded to a British consortium to re-brand Ghana?.

In a statement in Accra in reaction to a story published in the INSIGHT newspaper VOL.9 No.43 of June 7th ? 11th 2002, Mr Obetsebi-Lamptey expressed ?astonishment and incredulity? about the claim that a contract had been awarded.

?I have never stated, let alone confirmed, that a contract has been awarded to a British consortium. This is for the simple reason that no such contract has been awarded?, he added.
