Deputy Communications Director of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kweku Boahen, has said the governing New Patriotic Party should seek redress at the law court if it thinks the Africa & Middle East Resources Investment Group (AMERI) deal stinks.
On UTV’s ‘Adekye Nsroma’ programme, Kweku Boahen dared President Akufo-Addo and his government to go to court if they feel the agreement signed under the AMERI deal was not genuine.
He expressed his surprise at how they are now complaining about the AMERI deal when their parliamentarians at the time opted and stood strongly for the deal.
“They should be able to tell us what has changed,” he said.
“See, we are tired of this current government, always trying to make sure to find something wrong with achievements made by the previous government. We wake up every day to meet their criticism on a project we embarked on,” he added.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Adansi Asokwa, K.T. Hammond, has revealed to the Mines and Energy Committee of Parliament that Africa & Middle East Resources Investment Group (AMERI) Energy fleeced Ghana to the tune of $150 million and went on profit shopping without investing a penny in the power deal with the Government of Ghana in 2015.
Mr K.T. Hammond appeared before the Mines and Energy Committee yesterday to present fresh dossier on the AMERI deal for it to determine whether the parliamentary approval of the deal ought to be reversed or not.
He said AMERI Energy did not only violate the agreement with the then government, but also hid very crucial information from the Committee that looked at the nitty-gritty of the agreement before its approval by parliament in March, 2015.
However, the minority National Democratic Congress (NDC) boycotted the session that was deliberating on the urgent motion, saying the motion to withdraw the deal was not debated in parliament before being forwarded to the Mines and Energy Committee.
Mr KT Hammond, who was the ranking member of the Committee when the deal was approved, filed an urgent motion just before the current parliament went on recess, asking the house to rescind its approval of the deal following fresh documents he had stumbled upon which make the deal a stinking one.

The VODAFONE deal was revisited after Kufuor handed over. What is the big deal in this one? Ghana first.

NDC is evil. The same way they defended all the dubious judgement debt, they will defend this also. Another create, loot and share. By the way how is youth in bicycle ridding doing? NDC do not have the country at heart but their stomach. I heard this guy was using V8 oh Ghana why?
The strange question to ask is why are NDC members so against the cancellation of this AMERI deal ; how can a whole party and whole group of unpatriotic maggots in the name of NDC just stand against re-negotiation of this AMERI deal ; what are their interest besides how can you misrepresent your self before a government ; get awarded a contract and then sublet and sublet the same contract to a prinicipal manufacturer for commission of $150 million dollars to go into the pockets of NDC John Junipor ; Jon Mahama and the energy minister ; WHAT A BUNCH CRIMINAL COCOCRAOACHES AND BANDITS : WHY ARE THESE NDC PEOPLE SO EVIL IN ANYTHING THEY DO !!!!!!CHEATING GHANAIANS OF SUCH SUM WHEN WE CANNOT GET MEDICINES IN OUR HOSPITALS .
NAME TAKE IT EASY OK, IT IS ALL IN THE INTEREST OF GHANA, WHAT IF GOVERNMENT IS ABLE TO RE-NEGOTIATE AND THE COST COMES DOWN, REMEMBER THAT REDUCTION IS NOT GOING INTO ANYBODY'S POCKET BUT GHANA'S COFFERS YOU SEE, SO RELAX AND DON'T DARE NPP BECAUSE THEY WILL DO IT AND WOULDN'T ANY JUDGEMENT DEBT.KWAKU BOAHEN TAKE IT EASY AND THINK GHANA FIRST, WHY VEHEMENTLY OPPOSING DO YOU HAVE ANY SHARE OR IT IS BECAUSE NDC BROUGHT AMERI HENCE YOUR BEHAVIOUR.ANYWAY SOMEONE SAYS HE'S NEVER HEARD YOU SPEAK ENGLISH BEFORE, KWAKU CHALLENGE HIM
This guy cannot even speak good English. Have you ever seen or heard of him speak english anywhere? Like our days in elementary school, when the "no vanacola" rule is set in motion, some people become temporarily dumb. Thats Kweku Buahen for you. He is acidic in akan-speaking stations but completely sublimes in english.
Kyaii, people are taking cover
