The Chief Executive Officer of McDan Shipping Company Daniel McCauley has said that he has no supply deal with Ghana Cocoa Board (Cocobod) as alleged by the Minority in Parliament.
He described the assertion by the Minority in Parliament that he leveraged on a perceived relationship with the finance minister to secure a loan as false.
Speaking on Accra-based Starr FM McCauley said he does not have “any supply contract with COCOBOD.”

“The arrangement was purely a business transaction. The accusations are palpably false and the minister could not have usurped the powers of the ADB board.”
“I don’t have any supply contract with COCOBOD. I am a client of ADB and I got the credit facility based on merit. I am a businessman and will not do anything to dent the reputation of my business”.
