George Opare Addo Dismisses Hubtel Contract Allegations for National Service Payments
George Opare Addo, the Minister of Youth Development and Empowerment, has refuted claims circulating on social media alleging his ministry has contracted Hubtel, a prominent Ghanaian fintech and e-commerce firm, to manage the payment platform for National Service personnel. The denials come in response to mounting discussions, particularly on the social media platform X, regarding the supposed agreement.
Political Undertones and Social Media Buzz
The rumors quickly ignited controversy on X, with users expressing concerns over the reported contract. Much of the debate revolves around Hubtel’s alleged historical connection to former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. The National Democratic Congress (NDC), to which the current minister belongs, had previously criticized Dr. Bawumia, alleging that he utilized his position to assist Hubtel in securing lucrative contracts. The core of the controversy centers on the apparent contradiction of the NDC signing a contract with Hubtel given their earlier criticism. One X user further fueled the discussion by suggesting that the ministry had awarded the contract to Hubtel following the reassignment of the immediate past Director-General of the National Service Scheme. The swift denial from Minister Opare Addo aims to quell these rising concerns and clarify the situation surrounding the National Service payment platform’s management.
