According to a statement issued by the Spokesperson of Ministry, Kofi Abrefa Afena, the Minister never paddled falsehood in parliament; hence, either those reports may be out of a genuine lack of knowledge or deliberate distortions clearly intended to achieve political and electoral gains.
The statement further stated that the publication is schemed to cause disaffection for the Minister.
The Ministry reiterated that the VRA had to spill the water at the time it did to prevent the catastrophic consequences of the collapsed dam.
