  • Paul Amuna 10 years ago

    I am no fan of Otchere-Darko and indeed disagree with him on most issues. In this case however I believe he has a point. It is a point of principle, not one of inherent corruption.

    If a company on whose board anyone sits ...

    Mahama is a shame to himself he has no control over his NDC and his govt. People are made ministers before they are vetted.
    Obeng so selfish he knows what is doing and what is doing is stealing our devolpment.

  • Whatever 10 years ago

    Does Gabby honestly understand what conflict of interest mean? P.V Obeng does not work for rlg so how can you say he has interest which conflicts with his job as advisor to the president over matters related to rlg?

  • Son of Ghana 10 years ago

    You Ndc people are so thick with your heads in the sand. As a board member of agam company pv obeng is paid by a company he has been asked to investigate. Stupid fool that is a conflict of interest Ndc thief.

    If the claim by Ochere-Darko is true, then the appointment of P. V Obeng to review the report amounts to conflict of interest. I don't think P.V would do a genuine and thorough work.
