There Was No Substance In Blakofe’s Allegations – Deputy Minister

Deputy Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Dr Ziblim Iddi talks about Akua Blakofe’s allegation. Blakofe made allegations against the Ghana Tourism Development Company (GTDC). However, he says there is no substance.

Earlier this year, Akua Blakofe accused the CEO, Kwadwo Antwi of failing to live up to the office’s mandate.

After Blakofe’s subsequent resignation, the media had a hard time getting responses from Kwadwo Antwi about the allegations.

Dr Ziblim Iddi rubbished all of Blakofe’s allegations in an interview with JoyNews’ MzGee

“I think that we investigate matters if you have leads to pursue and if allegations are thrown out and you go in and there are no leads and you don’t find anything, I don’t think it is something… Let me say that the Ghana Tourism Development Company is one of our important agencies. Therefore, the ministry takes the work they do there seriously. Those allegations were taken seriously and I think that if there was any substance to them, we would have pursued it to a logical conclusion.”
