A corruption report by Norwegian news portal, VG, cites one Sheikh Ahmed Dalmook Al Maktoum of Dubai as the person whose outfit sold Ghana the 'overpriced' Russia-made vaccine, he happens to be involved in the Ameri gas turbines deal of six years ago. The power deal was signed in 2015 between the then John Dramani Mahama government and Africa Middle East Resources Investment Group LLC (AMERI) as one of the numerous deals sealed to solve the power crisis. The deal pitched the two political parties against each other with then candidate Akufo-Addo claiming that it was inflated by $150million. After winning power in 2017, the government commenced steps to renegotiate the deal. The new deal which was drafted by the government courted backlash from civil society organizations and the opposition National Democratic Congress.
