Energy C’ttee Interrogates Kwabena Donkor & Ameri Officials Today

Officials of Ameri Energy and the former Power Minister Dr Kwabena Donkor will today be investigated by the Mines and Energy Committee in Parliament over thermal plant deal.

This follows a motion of revocation by the Adansi Asokwa constituency Member of Parliament (MP) KT Hammond arguing that the company made some huge profits at the expense of the country.

“Ameri Energy made a whopping killing of 150million at the expense of the poor taxpayers of this country, this was not what the committee meant to present to Parliament for approval and indeed this is not what I as a ranking member of the committee of mines of energy intended to support when the motion was moved in Parliament,” he told Starr News.

Background:

The NDC government has signed the BOOT Agreement on February 10, 2015 as an emergency power arrangement to help reduce the power supply deficit at the time, and the project was expected to be delivered within 90 days after the fulfillment of conditions precedent, but it was never done within the stipulated period.

“Even though the plant is operational, several omissions and concessions were made in the BOOT Agreement which require re-negotiation, amendments and restructuring of the Agreement. The Agreement simply is grossly unfair and is not as it presently stands, in the best interest of Ghana,” the Addison Committee had said.
