Mr Boakye in an interview with Accra-based Oman FM on Tuesday, February 16, 2021 opined that the termination of the contract was a Cabinet decision.
“I just realised that they had filed for arbitration on 11 August 2018. This was after I had left the ministry. I never knew they had gone for arbitration. I am told that the government presented itself at the arbitration. How would someone accuse me of cancelling the contract?
“I have not cancelled any contract. I don’t have the power nor the need or desire to cancel it. I am for what will help Ghana,” he said.
He said even though the decision to cancel the contract was taken during his tenure of office, “don’t say I cancelled the contract”.
