Phillip Addison, Vicky Bright, Boakye Agyarko ‘benefiting’ from NEW AMERI DEAL- Govt insider

Former Minister of State under the Kufuor administration, Vicky Bright, lawyer for President Akufo-Addo and the current Energy Minister, MyNewsGH.com has learnt, are the triumvirate fronting for Mytilineous Company, the controversial company whose novated and amended agreement with Government of Ghana and AMERI has seen Energy Think Tanks ACEP and IES  up in arms over value for money questions.

Our very trusted source within government confirmed that Lawyer Philip Addison and Vicky Bright even accompanied the Minister to meet the Finance Committee of parliament to convince them to support the deal.

Questions are been asked by the role of Philip Addison who served as the Chairman of the committee which recommended a downwards review of the original AMERI agreement and Vicky Bright a committee member, both now now fronting for a third party Mytilineos Company who ACEP and IES accuse of ripping off government of over $800 million should the deal pass.

It will be recalled that in 2017 Vicky Bright on Good Evening Ghana encouraged President Akufo-Addo to review the AMERI contract. “We know that the two who pushed for the review have a solution which is in  their interest and are pushing for it”, MyNewsGH.com was told.

Executive Director of the African Centre for Energy Policy, Ben Boakye says the new deal does not give value for money. “For what we have seen that we are losing a lot of money. There’s a cost of a 270 million that Ghana will have to pay, which is way above whatever we are saving as purported by the government. We don’t see value for money in this deal,” he highlighted.

The Institute for Energy Security’s Executive Director Paa Kwasi Anamua Sakyi has said he is scandalized by the lack of due diligence that characterizes the re-negotiated agreement between the Government and AMERI Energy. According to the IES, in its current form, the deal presented to the Joint Committees of Parliament is frost with misleading figures and inaccurate claims which may eventually line the pockets of individuals, and overburden the Ghanaian with a high cost of electricity.

The Senior Staff Association of the Volta River Authority (VRA) has also registered its displeasure over Government’s move to amend and extend the controversial Ameri power deal believed to have been over-bloated by $150 million in 2015 when it was first signed, as MyNewsGH.com reported.

Financial Analyst Sidney Casely Hayford and Energy Expert Kwame Jantuah have also questioned the ‘sense’ in the deal, raising suspicion that someone stood to benefit dubiously from the deal.

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.
