Accra, Tuesday 24th September 2024 –. It has come to our attention that a letter received today, 24th September, 2024 about our engagement with Trafigura is circulating in the media creating the impression of the government’s inaction on a yet to be executed Settlement Agreement. As may have been noticed, the said letter references on-going engagement on pathways towards settling the claims.
The Ministry of Finance wishes to state that we have made the necessary arrangements to pay-off the outstanding claims agreed with Trafigura after several rounds of negotiations. We are therefore surprised at the circulation of this letter on social media.
The Government of Ghana remains committed to honoring its obligations under the Settlement Agreement with Trafigura with the view to bring this matter to closure. END
