More details are emerging on the cancellation of the power agreement between the government of Ghana and Trafigura Ghana Power Generation Company (GPGC), which appears to be causing the country international embarrassment. One of Ghana's prized properties in the United Kingdom (UK), the Regina House in London, has now been taken over by Trafigura after the government of Ghana failed to pay the $134 million judgement awarded against it by a UK court for cancelling the power agreement. One might wonder why the government of Ghana would take an action which would cause the nation a $134 million judgment debt, and the person(s) who landed the country into such debts. But even Boakye Agyarko, who was Minister for Energy when the Trafigura deal was cancelled, has stated that he knew nothing about the cancellation. Speaking in an interview on Oman FM on Tuesday, February 16, 2021, the former energy minister said that he was in no way involved in the cancellation of the agreement and therefore cannot be held responsible for the judgement debt.
