Sahara battles heats up - Kan-Dapaah challenges critics to prove malfeasance

The Minister of Energy, Mr Albert Kan Dapaah, has stated that he will be ready for a probe of any kind if anybody provides documentary evidence to substantiate allegations of malfeasance in the Sahara oil contract, reports The Ghanaian Times.

He maintained that the contract, made on a company-to- company basis was not a Government contract, and needed no parliamentary assent.

"Unless we want to say that if the Electricity Company of Ghana, wants to procure a transformer for instance, it needs to go to parliament for approval," he said. Mr Dapaah was addressing a press conference called to enable him to respond to questions and allegations contained in a press statement issued by the NDC on the contract.
