CFF-Ghana is completely scandalized by the raging national debate on the $170m judgement debt slapped on Ghana by the London Court, an action occasioned by the wrongful termination of Ghana Power Generation Company’s (GPGC) contract with the government of Ghana.
We condemn outrightly the roles played by officialdom more especially the bad decision by the Attorney General (AG) for not entering appearance in the arbitration at the London Court to pursue the case to its logical conclusion on behalf of the State.
This unpopular decision taken by the government’s principal attorney can only be said to be demonstration of crass incompetence, laziness and playing on the sensibilities of the Ghanaian people. For how long can we continue paying unnecessary judgement debts at the expense of the myriad of development challenges facing our country?
To avert these unnecessary judgement debts in future transactions, We are calling on anti-graft agencies including CHRAJ, EOCO, Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and the CID to investigate all officials involved in the Ghana Power Generation Company (GPGC) contract dealings and recommend appropriate sanctions including surcharging offending individuals to serve as deterrent to those planning maliciously to willfully cause financial loss to the state to abandon their evil plans.
