A member of the communications team of the National Democratic Congress, Beatrice Annan, has refuted claims made by Krobea Kwabena Asante, an aide to Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, regarding discussions during a recent meeting between the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the new government.

On Thursday, January 9, 2025, President John Mahama, alongside Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang and other members of the government, held a meeting with the IMF to address Ghana’s economic challenges.

However, shortly after the meeting, Krobea Kwabena Asante, a lawyer and aide to former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, took to social media to share purported details of the discussion.

In his Facebook posts, Asante alleged that the IMF conveyed three key points during the meeting, including a claim that Ghana’s economy was in good shape and that the banking sector clean-up could not be reversed.

In response, Beatrice Annan, who stated that she was present at the meeting, dismissed Asante’s claims as false. In her own Facebook post, she denied the accuracy of the details he provided, asserting that none of the issues he mentioned were discussed.

“This is very false. Disregard the lies. I was in the said meeting, and none of the things written here were discussed,” Annan wrote on Facebook.

She went on to criticize Asante, accusing him of spreading misinformation. “The NPP lies will not stand. Krobea is still at stage 3 of grief,” she added, taking a jab at Asante’s supposed reaction to the NPP’s electoral loss.

Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, revealed the meeting was a success as President Mahama seeks to renegotiate the IMF program initiated by the NPP government in an effort to steer Ghana toward economic recovery.
