Private partners beware; you have no parliamentary cover yet – Oppong Nkrumah

The Ofoase Ayirebi MP said Parliament has not approved any specific company, contract amount or implementation schedule for the project, describing the approval being sought by government as a “blank cheque”.

Ranking Member on Parliament’s Economy and Development Committee, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has warned private sector partners involved in the government’s fiscal electronic devices project that they do not yet have parliamentary cover for the transaction.

Speaking on JoyNews’ PM Express on Tuesday, Mr Oppong Nkrumah said the Minority was not against the rollout of fiscal electronic devices but objected to Parliament being asked to approve a multi-year commitment without critical details.
