Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary aspirant for Ablekuma Central, Collins Amoah, has strongly denied allegations linking him to a GH¢800,000 fraud case, describing the claims as politically motivated and entirely baseless.
In a statement, he refuted suggestions that he conspired to defraud a businessman under the pretext of clearing tax obligations with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
Amoah emphasized that he has never been involved in any fraudulent dealings and questioned the credibility of the accusations. He pointed out that he had been outside the country at the time of the alleged incident and argued that his absence made it impossible for him to participate in any wrongdoing.
“I wish to state that I have not been engaged in any activity of that sort. The content of the said publication is highly regrettable, unfortunate, and a malicious act by persons who find me a threat to their political ambition,” Amoah stated.
He also challenged the logic behind the complaint, questioning why a businessman who understands tax procedures would bypass the official GRA system and instead rely on political influence for clearance. This, he argued, raises doubts about the real motive behind the allegations and suggests an attempt to smear his reputation.
“It is worth mentioning that the GRA has a portal through which all payments are made. It is therefore unfortunate that a businessman who is well-vested in matters relating to tax obligations would allegedly be a complainant in such a case,” he added.
Amoah assured his supporters that he remains committed to clearing his name and will not allow baseless accusations to distract him.
The case has been adjourned to February 3, 2025, as legal proceedings continue.
