Veteran jounalist, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako has disclosed that Africa Legal Associates, a law firm owned by Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko received US$103,000 for its work on the Agyapa Minerals Royalties deal.
Kweku Baako made this assertion on Peace FM’s ‘Kokrokoo’ morning show to counter claims that Gabby’s law firm was paid US$2 million.
According to him, United Kingdom based law firm was the principal advisor on the deal and Africa Legal Associates only worked for them.
“It is not true that Gabby’s firm got US$2 million from the deal. It is not true that his firm is a beneficiary of US$2 million. It’s not even up to US$105,000. It is the main transaction advisor that paid Gabby. It is about US$103,000. It is not US$2 million,” he said.
