Nduom calls for heads to roll on facebook post

Flagbearer of the PPP, Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom believes several officials must be sacked if it is established that Ghana’s Power Ministry signed a deal with a company with “questionable references.”

Many energy experts and economists as well as well meaning Ghanaians are pressurizing government to fully disclose the terms of its agreement with the Dubai-based AMERI Group to produce electricity for Ghana, when it came out over the weekend that Ghana’s Minister of Power had signed a power deal with a Norwegian fraudster at an inflated cost.

Nduom, stated that if due diligence was not done ahead of the signing of the AMERI deal then “many heads must roll.”

Below is his full Facebook post: Many Heads Must Roll? So after checks and counter checks, it is true that Ghana's Minister of Power, Dr. Kwabena Donkor signed deal with Ameri Group worth a reported 510 million dollars to lease a power plant. What I together with many Ghanaian taxpayers and power users want to know are these: 1. Is it true that the deal was signed with a company with questionable references? 2. Are the principals of Ameri Group a Dubai prince and Umar Farook Zahoor a man wanted for several fraudulent acts in Europe? 3. Is the price tag for the deal inflated?

4. Did cabinet and the presidency do proper due diligence on the Ameri Group and the pricing of the deal given that previous international transactions have suffered credibility tests after the fact? Reference CNTCI and STX Korea.

5. Is power from this transaction an influencing factor in the recent electricity price hike?

I am practicing patience, willing to give benefit of the doubt to President John Dramani Mahama and the Power Minister on this deal. We need answers. Quickly. Otherwise, many heads must roll!
