Bahmed Travel and Tours denies any wrong doing in Mubarak
saga
Accra, June 10, Ghanadot/GNA – The
Solicitor of Bahmed Travel and Tours Limited, one of the
travel agencies of the Ministry of Youth and Sports has said
that, it has over the years conducted clean and unblemished
business with the Ministry, thereby denying any wrong doing
in the ongoing saga of financial impropriety and fraudulent
activities at the Ministry.
Prince Fredrick Nii Ashe-Neequaye, Solicitor for Bahmed
Travel and Tours, in reaction to allegations made by the
embattled Minister of Youth and Sports, Alhaji Mohammed
Muntaka Mubarak, which sought to suggest wrong doing on the
part of the agency in the saga that has rocked the ministry,
described the allegations as “unfortunate and regrettable.
According to the solicitor, Bahmed Travel and Tours was
embarrassed and surprised by the defamatory remarks made by
the Minister, adding that the statement by the minister was
an attempt to question the credibility of the Agency.
It added that Bahmed Travel and Tours has in all dealings
with the Ministry been diligent and forthright in meeting
the rigorous requirements of the Ministry having been
appointed in a competitive bidding with forty other Travel
and Tour Firms.
The solicitor said the Minister in his response used various
deceptive measures to suppress the truth on the grounds to
make his story look credible.
It said the agency despite these false and malicious
comments on June 5th made urgent and frantic arrangements to
ensure that confirmed bookings for the Black Stars on their
impending trip to Kenya and Sudan are assured after other
agents contacted by the Ministry had disappointed them at
the eleventh hour.
The solicitor further stated that, Bahmed Travel and Tours
will make itself available for any form of investigations
into the matter and has subsequently suspended any further
transactions with the Ministry in order to protect its good
name and reputation in the travel and tour business.
