The Minority Members on Parliament’s Appointments Committee are demanding explanations from Railways Minister-designate, John Peter Amewu on his role in the botched PDS deal.
The botched Power Distribution Services Ghana Limited concession deal led to the American government’s withdrawal of its $190-million tranche of the Compact II programme of the Millennium Challenge Corporation following the government of Ghana’s termination of the 20-year concession deal with the private firm on grounds of fraud.
“The Minister-designate for Railways is expected to clarify a number of issues relating to the PDS contract. Of particular interest is how much revenue was collected by PDS and the outstanding claims by PDS on the government”, the Minority MPs said in their report.
