Accra: GhanaWeb has retracted and corrected portions of a story titled 'Ex-COCOBOD chiefs finally face criminal investigations - Report,' which was published on March 4, 2026, and syndicated from theheraldghana.com. Following a review prompted by correspondence from the legal representatives of Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong, Chief Executive Officer of the Jospong Group of Companies, GhanaWeb has established that certain claims contained in the syndicated report were inaccurate.
According to Ghana Web, the article erroneously stated that some procurement deals were awarded to Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong and suggested that he was under criminal investigation in relation to the matters discussed. These claims have been found to be inaccurate. The article has since been updated to remove the incorrect references, and the accompanying image has also been edited. A correction note has been added to the article page to reflect these updates. This retraction notice will remain published as part of GhanaWeb's transparency policy.
Although the report was syndicated from theheraldghana.com, GhanaWeb acknowledges that all material published on its platform is subject to the editorial standards of accuracy, fairness, and verification that guide their newsroom. GhanaWeb apologizes to Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong and the Jospong Group of Companies for any distress or inconvenience caused by the publication.
