The company, responding to the news stated categorically that the Herald publication was “completely false.”
“Indeed, there is no scintilla of evidence to back the Herald story. The reportage passes for irresponsible media aggression, and certainly not journalism,” the statement stressed.

It concluded that Ghana Gas remain committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in all our operations.
The country’s foremost gas company demanded a retraction and a formal apology from the Herald newspaper.
