Former Power Minister Dr Kwabena Donkor has vehemently denied any involvement in bribery allegations that have led to the US conviction of former Goldman Sachs banker Kwaku Asante Berko. In a press release on August 10, 2026, his legal team, Cavendish Chambers, stated that Dr Donkor has "absolutely no knowledge" of any requests or demands for money.
