I Save All My Cash At ADB, Zenith, GTBank; I’ve No Foreign Account’ – Mahama Denies Stashing $100m In Swiss Bank
Former President John Dramani Mahama has rubbished claims against him that he hid some $100 million World Bank funds meant for Ghana into a private Swiss account while in office.
In an interview with Cape93.3FM in the Central Region on Friday, 15 October 2021, as part of his Thank You tour, Mr Mahama said he has no foreign account and that all his monies are saved in the local banks in Ghana.
“They [New Patriotic Party] claimed Lordina and I stole a $100-million cash from the World Bank meant for Ghana. Where did you see that money? World Bank funds go to the Bank of Ghana not the Ministry of Finance. So, how could I have told the Bank of Ghana to give me $100 million and transfer it into my Swiss Bank account?”
“I have no Swiss Bank account. I have no foreign bank account. I don’t have a foreign account anywhere”, Mr Mahama insisted.
“My account is in ADB, Zenith Bank and Guaranty Trust Bank. These three banks hold my money. If you want to investigate me, investigate those banks. My money is all there”, Mr Mahama revealed to Ohene Kwame David in the one-on-one interview.
