Former Minister of Power Dr Kwabena Donkor has told the government of government to eat a humble and admit that it erred in the cancellation of the contract that resulted in the $111 million judgment debt awarded in favour of Ghana Power Generation Company by the court in the United States. Speaking in an interview with TV3's Alfred Ocansey on Wednesday, August 21, Dr Donkor argued that the reasons for the cancellation of the contract which resulted in the judgment debt were untenable.
"The government must eat a humble pie and go to Trafigura and make new commitments and stick to the commitment," he said. He further asked why the Attroney-General did not defend the government in the case?
"What was the Attorney-General's Department and the Ministry of Energy doing? What were they doing? Did they sleep on the job or did they realise that, 'look, the arbitration settlement was on such strong legal terms that it was not worth challenging'?
