A member of the opposition NDC national communication team, Felix Nene Kpabitey wants the president to set a bi-partisan committee to investigate the renegotiation of the controversial AMERI novation and amendment agreement that got Mr Agyarko fired in August 2018. Boakye Agyarko should be relieved of his position,” Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin told Citi news. But in the new proposed deal, the government was to pay a total of $1.375 billion for the AMERI power plant over approximately 15 years instead of the original $510 million. It is for this reason that the NDC communicator is admonishing the president, whose government has been hugely criticised for shielding corrupt officials, to investigate his sacked minister over the AMERI deal.
