"My face was on the newspapers this morning that I don't pay taxes. I worked in this country for almost 22 or 23 years, and I've filed my taxes and still pay ... If the government aims to disgrace me by putting my face in the newspapers, I will say that this face cannot be shamed,'' he said.

The leader of The New Force urged the GRA and the government to contact him to do what is needed regarding tax evasion issues.

This incident comes after the Government of Ghana cancelled The Convention, an event that had been slated for January 7, 2024, by his foundation, New Africa Foundation.

#TheNewForce is more than a movement which no political party can stop. The NPP as govt should focus on doing better in the few months left and leave Nana Kwame Bediako alone. Truth will always defeat the lies!
