This Can Never Be Agyapa Bargain It Is Somewhat ‘Agyabon’ – Ato Forson

A previous Deputy Finance Minister has depicted the dubious Agyapa Minerals Royalties understanding as ‘Agyabon’ to mind ‘terrible dad’.

Cassiel Ato Forson told the media Tuesday that despite the fact that the Minority attempted to get government to introduce an intermittent survey report of the arrangement to Parliament for examination, the Akuko-Addo organization passionately contradicted it.

This, he stated, implies government is resolved to disguise basic data identifying with the nation’s mineral resources from people in general.

“We [NDC minority] requested that legislature consolidate in the understanding that occasional audit record will be sent to the sovereign Parliament for us to in any event have an oversight of what is happening in the collaboration.

“Lamentably, this administration energetically restricted and casted a ballot against our introduction and that doesn’t imply that we will pass by that comprehension.

“So as [Minority in] Parliament we don’t have the data on the best way to freely esteem the organization Agyapa with our valuable public resource,” he said.

Considering that, he included, “Unmistakably this understanding can never be Agyapa [to mind great father] surely this is Agyabon [to mind awful father] and ought not be acknowledged.”

Remarking on the collaboration being in Jersey, an expense shelter, the Ajumako-Enyan-Esiam Constituency MP said it could lift Ghana’s danger of being recorded as tax evasion purview or nation.

The Ranking Member on Parliament’s Finance Committee further limited the protection of the legislature on the counteraction of twofold tax collection on profit from the understanding.

“The administration’s clarification on this duty safe house issue hasn’t been empowering at all I will encourage the legislature to come back once more.”
