That was put out by so-called Think Tanks and Civil Society Organizations which led to some even sponsoring lawsuits against the Common Platform. They have finally heeded the wisdom of sound counsel and discontinued all other lawsuits against the platform without liberty to apply,” she said at the launch of the Common platform in Accra Monday. Meanwhile, IMANI Africa has denied claims that they have been bribed out of their opposition against the Kelni GVG contract with the Government of Ghana.
