Our attention has been drawn to a publication on ‘Eagle Ghana News’ online portal which seeks to associate the diligent and hardworking Ambassador with the alleged missing 105,927 litres of petrol at the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR).
The headline: ‘105, 927 litres of Petrol Disappears Under Edward Boateng-Led TOR’, is not only misleading and defamatory but is also an obvious attempt to put his hard-earned reputation into question.
The Office of Ambassador Edward Boateng wishes to unequivocally state that even though Ambassador Edward Boateng was announced quite recently as the new Managing Director of TOR, he is yet to receive any official communication appointing him as Managing Director of TOR. Consequently, Ambassador Edward Boateng has neither been at the premises of TOR nor has he been contacted in any decision-making concerning TOR. TOR still stands under the management of the Interim Management Committee (IMC).
The Editors of Eagle news are by this advised to pull down the story and offer an unqualified apology to Ambassador Edward Boateng and his Office accordingly, failing which the Ambassador will take all lawful and legal steps to assert his rights.
