The Minority Caucus in Parliament have said they’ll be launching a full-scale investigation into the alleged theft of ¢10.4 million worth of cables among other product losses at the Tema Oil Refinery.
In a press statement signed by Ranking Member for Mines and Energy, John Jinapor, the Minority MPs stated that the scandal raises issues of abandonment of duty on the part of the management of the company, adding that a fair, transparent and unbiased investigation is needed.
The Caucus noted that, “the Tema Oil Refinery has its standard operating procedures requiring the daily briefing to management on stock accounting and inventory, which confirms to the management, the total quantity and quality in their tanks and the identities of parties who own such stocks. It is therefore untenable to hear of such huge losses without any tangible explanation.”
