flag Former COCOBOD boss says Acheampong falsely claimed credit for ending cocoa loan reliance.

flag Former COCOBOD CEO Joseph Boahen Aidoo has accused NPP presidential hopeful Dr. Bryan Acheampong of falsely claiming credit for ending Ghana’s use of syndicated loans to finance cocoa purchases, calling the assertion dishonest and plagiarism. flag Aidoo stated the policy, which ended a 32-year reliance on foreign borrowing and enabled cocoa revenues to earn interest, was his initiative, backed by President Akufo-Addo and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, while Acheampong opposed it and blocked its Cabinet approval. flag He accused Acheampong of later submitting the policy without acknowledgment and criticized the public narrative as disingenuous. flag Aidoo emphasized the reform’s success in improving financial sustainability and credited its true architects, not those rewriting history for political gain.
