“On Tuesday when you meet in Parliament, demand this particular question to be answered: What are we getting in return, don’t let them bamboozle you by saying to you that they are saving $1.1 million of the previous deal, which was bad according to them,” he said on Citi FM’s analysis programme last Saturday.
Mr Cudjoe demanded that the government rescind the $89 million contract between Ghana and Haitian firm KelniGVG.
IMANI Africa sent a petition to the Vice-President to revoke the contract for the design, development and implementation of a common platform for traffic monitoring, revenue assurance and mobile money monitoring.
