He also drew attention to a reference in the message to an earlier stakeholder meeting held on October 22, 2025.
Assafuah argued that the correspondence indicated that discussions involving Tribe Culture First and the relevant institutions had taken place before the period when the minister reportedly said he became aware of the company’s involvement.
