Politics of Tuesday, 9 June 2020Source: Kasapa FMNo iota of truth in NDC’s allegations against BOST – Energy MinistryHead of Communications at the Energy Ministry, Nana DamoahThe Ministry of Energy has responded to what it calls the “sheer lies” peddled by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) over some claims it made against President Akufo-Addo and the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company (BOST). The sale of the contaminated fuel to these unlicensed companies therefore breached sections 11 and 32 of the NPA Act (ACT 691) of 2005, hence unlawful. “There is no iota of truth in whatever he said in relation to the so-called Movenpina-BOSTGATE scandal.”“They alleged that we sold five million litres of contaminated fuel onto the Ghanaian market, it is not true. One million litres was what was sold. “Indeed, it’s still fresh in our minds that the NDC government in 2015 and 2016, using BOST sold 200 million litres of contaminated fuel to 38 unlicensed companies, adding the former NDC government are the worst culprits, in respect of scandals at BOST.
