The Founder and Chief Editor of the Fourth Estate, Manasseh Azure Awuni, has pledged his cooperation with the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) regarding the investigation of the 'The GH¢3 billion lie' project.

He emphasized the commitment of investigative journalism to expose wrongdoing and aid in the recovery of lost revenue for the country.

Azure Awuni assured that he and his team are ready to provide any necessary information to the state agency to hold all offenders accountable.

In an interview on Joy FM's Top Story, he stated, “At the end of the day, we do this work to help with the State not losing money and I have been to court several times to represent the State as a witness in Investigations I have done.

“I went through months of cross-examination in the A.B Adjei case which the special prosecutor is prosecuting and even in the US I had to join via Zoom to testify so if there is anything that they want to do, I think that it is only fair and natural that I cooperate, and then my team also would avail ourselves and whatever support or help or further information or clarification they need, we are always ready to help.”

The Fourth Estate's report raised concerns about the contract's validity, with Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta expanding it, estimating a potential cost of $100 million to the state over the next decade.

Minority Spokesperson on Mines and Energy, John Jinapor, urged the suspension of the deal pending a parliamentary probe.

A petition has also been submitted to the Special Prosecutor, urging an investigation into the Finance Ministry, Ghana Revenue Authority, and Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited over the questionable $1 billion contract for revenue assurance.
