General News of Wednesday, 10 April 2019Source: citinewsroom.comWe have a value for money report on Sinohydro deal – Oppong Nkrumah replies Minorityplay videoMinister for Information, Kojo Oppong NkrumahThe Minister for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has described concerns from the Minority over the absence of a value for money audit for the $2 billion Sinohydro deal as disingenuous. “Value for money is not a prerequisite for parliamentary approval,” the Minister countered on the Citi Breakfast Show. “What Parliament considers are the financial terms and the technical specifications are also made available to the sector-specific committee,” said Mr. Oppong Nkrumah. “There are times when Parliament will say go ahead with this but share with us the value for money eventually when it is done,” Mr. Oppong Nkrumah added. But Mr. Oppong Nkrumah again reminded that seeking legal opinion was not a prerequisite for passage by Parliament.
