Africa-Press – Ghana. The Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) remains committed to due process, transparency, and its mandate to protect and grow Ghana’s mineral income for current and future generations.
“The Fund remains resolute and will continue to cooperate fully with the Auditor-General and maintain its focus despite falsehood peddling against it.”
A statement copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra said MIIF over the last few weeks had experienced a coordinated attempt by certain malicious former executives of the Fund and some former board members who were persistently using sections of media tabloids to malign the Fund and its Chief Executive Officer.
“The false, baseless and maligning allegations are captioned as follows; Auditor-General Blasts MIIF for Attempting to Rewrite 2024 Audited Report; Auditor-General Blasts MIIF CEO Over “Improper” Request to Rewrite 2024 Report; Auditor-General Takes MIIF CEO to the Cleaners; and Auditor-General Blasts MIIF CEO over Corrupt Audit Rewrite Request.
“Other fake headlines are; Auditor-General Rejects MIIF CEO’s Rogue Request; Auditor-General Blasts MIIF CEO over “Corrupt” Request; and Auditor-General Blasts MIIF CEO over “Improper” Request”.
It said the entire publications centred around the 2024 Audit report, which was currently the subject of ongoing and cordial engagements between MIIF and the Office of the Auditor-General.
“These discussions aim to ensure that the final report accurately reflects issues raised in the Management Letter by the auditors, so that the public is properly informed.
“While this legitimate process is still underway, these faceless individuals have resorted to spreading misleading headlines and insinuations, seemingly as part of a calculated effort to unjustly undermine the current management of the Fund and its CEO”.
It said MIIF as an institution, which had been restructured into a befitting organization in the last 11 months, had at no point attempted to alter any signed financial statements as it is being alleged.
“The public is hereby being informed that, the discussions between the Fund and the Auditor-General have been professional, transparent, and ongoing”.
“We do not care about how well she is doing in the Fund. All we want is the report out on MIIF’s website and if we do not see it, we will write all manner of fabricated stories against her”, the source said.
Beyond the allegations, evidence increasingly pointed to the fact that some former board members and executives were resorting to these tactics.
“Some of these former executives are currently subject of investigation by the Office of the Special Prosecutor.
