Senyo Hosi calls for public investigation into missing GH¢915million oil cash

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Chamber of Bulk Distribution Companies,  Mr Senyo Hosi is demanding a public inquiry to establish the whereabouts of missing GH¢915 million being taxes from the oil resources in 2016 and 2017.

“An analysis of the NPA OMC performance data shows that government failed to account for GHS576.63million for 2016 and GHS339.16mn for 2017 in ESLA taxes. The 2016 volumes indicate that government earned a total of GH¢3,875.56million (assuming that GoG’s report on the receipts from the power sector and the balance brought forward from the Petroleum Debt Recovery Levy Account are accurate). However, the report by the Minister of Finance to Parliament stated that GH¢3,298.94 million was raised.

“The Minister of Finance reported to parliament that an amount of GH¢3,151.74million was realised in ESLA receipts for 2017. This position is irreconcilable with computed ESLA receipts earned, based on NPA confirmed 2017 OMC performance data, which indicates that GH¢3,490.90mn should have been collected,” the Chamber said in a report it launched on Tuesday.

The Chamber said the situation is “extremely alarming and suggestive of high-level corruption and tax evasion.”

Speaking to MyNewsGH.com Senyo Hosi, said “we need to investigate it because there are people in the system who are colluding to loot our oil revenue. We need a public inquiry because we have politicians, customs officers, security officers and some persons in the oil industry involved.”

Senyo Hosi who expressed worry about illegal fuel in the country underscored the need for the National Petroleum Authority to step up its measures to deal with the situation to save the downstream petroleum sector from collapse.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed. To the Youth especially, leaders in their part of the country have failed them after years of exploiting them for their own interest. They say they will advise themselves if nothing is done ab...
