Ameri review worse than previous agreement

The Executive Secretary of the Africa Center for Energy Policy has given a damning verdict of government review agreement of the controversial AMERI deal.

Ben Boakye, whose think tank was vehement in criticizing the original AMERI deal signed in 2015 by the Mahama led administration, told Joy News’ Emefa Apawu the new deal entered into by the Akufo-Addo led government is even worse. He rubbished claims the new deal will save Ghana a whopping $400 million and advised Parliament to reject it.

His former boss at ACEP, Mohammed Amin Adam who led the AMERI criticism against the NDC is now a Deputy Energy Minister who may have played a role in negotiating this new deal.
