But the Deputy CEO of Ghana EXIM Bank, Kwame Adu Darkwa denied engaging such ambassadors directly or making payments from the accounts of Ghana Exim Bank to them.

“I mentioned ¢2 million that went to Shatta Wale but the Deputy CEO says they wouldn’t know who the vendor selected and this is not to say that we have a problem with Shatta Wale getting some amount of money to do whatever work.
