Former Minister of Power Dr Kwabena Donkor has said the government may have realised that it had bad case hence its decision not to defend in the $111 million judgment debt case awarded in favour of Ghana Power Generation Company by the court in the United States. Asked for his view on the refusal of the A-G to defend in this case, Dr Donkor told TV3's Alfred Ocansey on Wednesday, August 21 "It could be that the A-G realised it was a bad case."
Dr Donkor further 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?
