Hon. Dr. Anthony Akoto Osei, the Presidential Advisor on the Economy, has denied being the voice on a tape on social media making disparaging comments about Vice President Dr. Mahammudu Bawumia and Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta.
He has stated categorically that the voice on the tape is not his, and he does not subscribe to the comments made by the person on the tape.
He has therefore demanded a retraction and apology from Ghanaweb, which has published the tape.
(Below is the letter circulated by Dr. Anthony Akoto Osei yesterday).

REJOINDER-OFORI ATTA AND BAWUMIA ARE AS WORSE AS EACH OTHER- AKOTO OSEI BOOMS IN LEAKED TAPE
My attention has been drawn to a post on Ghanaweb and other social media platforms including a purported leaked tape which has me allegedly commenting on the platform of the two personalities mentioned in the headline.
I wish to categorically deny making unfounded statements either in an interview or in an engagement with anybody.
The Voice in the leaked tape is emphatically not mine. Neither do I subscribe to the alleged comments.
Not only do I demand this rejoinder to be published with the same prominence given the wicked allegation. I further demand a retraction and apology from Ghanaweb.
HON. DR. ANTHONY AKOTO OSEI
PRESIDENTIAL ADVISOR ON THE ECONOMY.
