the main defaulter<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in this regard.<\/p>\nIn an interview with Citi News<\/strong>,\u00a0the Deputy Administrator of GETFund, Stephen Baffoe, said the Fund will start the disbursement of an initial GHc 110 million received from the Ministry of Finance, based on the advice of its Board of Directors.<\/p>\nThe Finance Ministry has promised to pay the remainder of the money owed deserving contractors, and Mr. Baffoe is optimistic that the Ministry will honour its promise of paying the remaining money.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been having discussions with the Ministry of Finance. We are sure that if the levels of discussions\u00a0go\u00a0on, they may be able to top up what they gave us on Tuesday. But given that the week is drawing up to a close, the board has advised management to begin disbursing the GHc 110 million whilst we wait for the Ministry to top up.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo from [Friday], we are going to pay those who, this GHc 110 million, is able to go round to them. We would then expect that the Ministry will top up as has been promised\u201d Mr. Baffoe stated.<\/p>\n
