Co-chairman for Ghana Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (GHEITI), Dr Emmanuel Steve Asare Manteaw has described as bogus the public forum organised by the Minerals Incomes Investment Fund to explore the concept and best practices of monetizing minerals royalties.
According to him, the public forum does not constitute proper consultation as the government should have first come out with the amendment in the Agyapa deal after President Akufo-Addo directed the Finance Minister and the Attorney-General to correct the concerns raised by the Civil Society Organizations (CSOs).
Speaking on
Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show, Dr Steve Manteaw was of the view that the President should have made public the changes done in the Agyapa deal as raised by the Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and then call for public discussion on those changes before any public forum to explore the concept and best practices of monetizing minerals royalties.
