Speaking on Starr FM with Naa Dedei Tettey, the spokesperson of the Minority in Energy, John Jinapor stated that the government took Ghanaians in PR without giving them the necessary information about the deal.
“You and I will go to the pump and pay almost 13 to 14 percent higher than what we paid before the gold policy for oil was implemented. I think the government should suspend this policy and consult further.
“We are not asking that the government should abandon this project or program. The point is let’s consult further, let’s agree, let’s cross the Ts and dot the Is. So that we can all have a program that will include everything, that will address the challenges holistically, ” said Mr. Jinapor.
He continued: “If we do this, we will move forward as a country, but if you do this policy and program in a vague way, without a due diligence process, without a competitive process, you will see whatever challenges you see.”
Ghana has taken delivery of its first cargo under the gold for oil policy. The delivery is to test the framework that everything we have done will work.
Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has assured Ghanaians that the Gold for Oil policy will make fuel cheaper in the country.
