Just how Mahama & Akufo-Addo put away their differences to ‘murder’ Ghana in corrupt GPHA-MPS deal exposed

Conditions surrounding how then Leader of Ghana John Mahama bent the rules and laws and regulations of Ghana to unilaterally sell out Ghana cheap with the Meridian Ports Services (MPS) agreement has been exposed within an international magazine’s exposé upon Ghana. While the details of just how Ghana got cheated associated with millions and millions of dollars below John Mahama’s leadership and private order on the deal is usually unbelievable, Ghanaians have portrayed more shock that Leader Akufo-Addo’s government and authorities appear to have also been bought low cost by the strongman behind the whole deal, Vicent Bolloré, the shrewd French businessman that has been fingered in incentivise payment to the President associated with Togo over similar interface deals. According to an investigative report commissioned by the Akufo-Addo government on the MPS offer in 2018, “the the agreements between MPS as well as the state are so tilted towards Ghana’s interests.. and should end up being renegotiated immediately. Yet because at today, the much-criticised contract and its very unpatriotic terms remain unchanged also under Akufo-Addo. The full The african continent Confidential Report can be go through here. The facts of the issue is that from 2005, the particular Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) started focus on its Master Plan to enhance the port and invited expert companies to take an interest, in order to prequalify and followed the particular procedures of transparent purchase. The process was ongoing till late Atta Mills overtook power and committed to carry on and finish it. Yet he died mid this year for John Mahama to consider over. MPS then contacted GPHA with its own program around the same time for that new Tema terminal. The particular report says this was developed ‘to satisfy MPS only’ and did not fit with the particular Master Plan which GPHA had prepared. Accordingly, GPHA patriotically rejected the MPS’ proposals. MPS proposal seemed to be rejected because 56 businesses, 20 of which had recently been shortlisted for the construction agreement were all on program. Another 15 companies experienced bid for the operating agreement, and Ghana’s civil maids were also working on the offer to an advanced stage. Remember that MPS had previously proven no interest in bidding or even prequalifying and had not even used. However , on 13 Nov, 2014, President Mahama with no recourse to the laws associated with Ghana changed the game mentioned MPS had made Mahama an offer amd proceeding upon that, without any documentation open to support anything ordered the particular GPHA to award the particular contract immediately, exclusively, minus tendering or competitive putting in a bid to MPS. MyNewsGh. possuindo will do an exclusive on the discuss structure and how the at this point sick old Alhaji Asuma Banda came to own twelve. 9% of the MPS offer and how GPHA’s 30% grew to become 15% and back to 30% at a cost hidden through Ghanaians. While at it, the particular John Mahama government, with no putting the nation first, given a tax waiver associated with $832million on the $1. 1billion MPS investment, which supposed the actual investment by MPS was less than $300m plus Ghana had been fleeced over the blindside of Ghanaian MPs who approved the waiver. While Akufo-Addo was anticipated to right the wrongs performed Ghana in this deal, they have acquiesced to the corruption plus sought to cover it up even though official investigations report Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia certified showed the deal is not within the interest of Ghana. Individuals who have spoken out highly against the MPS deal earlier have either been silenced with new positions or even sacked from their positions. In the meantime Peter MacManu sits for the board of MPS as well as the GPHA, a clear scenario that will shows Akufo-Addo and his authorities are all but in bed along with John Mahama on this magnificent corruption that has blown up.
