The Board Chairman of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), David Adomako has dismissed calls by the General Transport, Petroleum and Chemical Workers’ Union (GTPCWU) of the Trades Unions Congress (TUC) for his dismissal over the controversial TOR-Torrentco Partnership Deal.
Some individuals have petitioned against the Finance Minister-designate, Ken Ofori-Atta and former Energy Minister, John Peter Amewu for their roles in dubiously cooking a deal that robbed Ghana of a significant stake in the crude oil concession operated by Aker Energy.
Ken Ofori-Atta and Peter Amewu had reportedly smuggled private company, Quad Energy into the deal and used it to knock off as much as 39% from the stakes of Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC).
The petitioners had wanted the Parliamentary Appointment Committee to stall the appointment of Ken Ofori-Atta and Peter Amewu until they answered the lingering questions around their reported involvement in shortchanging Ghana in the Aker Energy deal.
