Government of Ghana is set to refund the $45,000 owed to former World Champion D.K Poison, in a letter sighted by Happyghana.com
D.K. Poison in 1976, loaned to the government of Ignatius Kutu Acheampong an amount of $45,000 out of his purse of $75,000 from his second title defence against Japanese Shig Fukuyama for the purchase of some commodities for the state.
However, 44 years on, all attempts to reclaim the money from the state have proved futile despite promises by past governments to ensure he was reimbursed with the amount owed him.
Posion paid a courtesy call to the President Nana Akufo-Addo to appeal for his money to be paid back to him.
The government has approved and directed the Ministry of Finance to pay the $45,000 owed DK Poison for the past 44 years.
