Chief Biney made this revelation on Peace FM's political talk show, 'Kokrokoo' hosted by Kwame Sefa Kaye whiles contributing to the passage of the RTI Bill by Ghana's parliament yesterday, monitored by Daniel Kaku of GhanaWeb. He further bemoaned and questioned why 40,000 litres of vegetable oil could cost the taxpayer over 2.2 million cedis while records from various markets across the country indicate that 1 Litre of Vegetable oil is sold at a maximum of Ten Ghana Cedis (GH?10.00) even at retail shops. This means that Quality Control Company Limited bought 1 Litre of Vegetable Oil from Freight Accord Limited at an unimaginable cost of Fifty Five Ghana Cedis, Fifty Pesewas (GH?55.50). The Deputy National Organizer of the NDC concluded that he believes the RTI Bill would help ensure that more of such stinking deals are uncovered. The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in its 2008 and 2012 election manifestos promised to ensure the Bill was passed.
