Member of Parliament for Bongo, Edward Bawa is concerned about an alleged contract between the Ghana National Gas Company Limited and The Gas Gathering Company Limited (TGGL) to oversee the construction of the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant Train 2 (GPP2).
In a statement issued on Wednesday, September 25, Edward Bawa claimed that the Ghana National Gas Company Limited is preparing to engage in a deal with the Gas Gathering Company Limited (TGGL) to oversee the construction of the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant Train 2 (GPP2).
According to him, the alleged $812 million project is "shrouded in concerns about transparency and accountability, especially given the glaring avoidance of parliamentary scrutiny." Mr Bawa noted that the timing of the contract was not right and bordered on illegality. "With national elections only two months away, this contract reeks of political manoeuvring and exploitation.
The people of Ghana are entitled to transparent governance and the responsible use of public funds, not last-minute financial schemes that seem designed to enrich the President's inner circle at the expense of national development." "This deal casts a shadow over the upcoming elections and could severely damage public trust in the integrity of Ghana's democratic process," he further stated.
