THE MINORITY \u00a0Minority members on the Energy and Mines Committee of Ghana\u2019s Parliament have blown the whistle over a whooping sum of US$100million from oil revenue by the Ghana National Petroleum Company (GNPC) for the first quarter, thus three months of\u00a0 2022 could not be accounted for by the Ministry of Finance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the Minority caucus in Parliament, the Finance Minister, a blood cousin of Ghana\u2019s President, Ken Ofori Atta allegedly channeled the state funds to an unknown offshore private account in the blind sight of parliament, the legitimate institution to approve such transaction.<\/p>\n

Full Statement Below<\/strong><\/p>\n

US$100 MILLION WORTH OF GHANA’S OIL MONEY MISSING \u2013 MINORITY RAISES CONCERN <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Minority in Parliament has noted with serious concern the inability or refusal of the Akuffo-Addo\/Bawumia-led Government to account for over $100Million accruing from Ghana’s Petroleum lifting in the first quarter of 2022.<\/p>\n

The decision by the current NPP Government to transfer revenues accruing from about 944,164bbls of crude lifting in the Jubilee and TEN fields to a company established in a safe haven (outside Ghana) without Parliamentary approval, amounts to a gross violation of the Petroleum Revenue Management Act, 2011 (Act 815) and Public Financial Management Act (Act 921).<\/p>\n

\"\"
HON JOHN JINAPOR AND ENERGY MINISTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We have become aware that following the acquisition of a Seven percent (7%) interest in the Occidental (Oxy) transaction in respect of the Jubilee and TEN Fields by the Government ostensibly for GNPC in 2021, the Minister of Finance has clandestinely ceded the shares to an offshore company known as JOHL (a company set-up in the Cayman Islands) in a very surreptitious and opaque manner.<\/p>\n

The Minority is very much alarmed that contrary to requirements of the PRMA, revenues accruing from the nation’s oil fields are not being paid into the Petroleum Holding Fund (PHF), which has been confirmed in the 2022 semi-annual report on petroleum receipts by the Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC).<\/p>\n

As if this is not enough, the report further reveals that Capital Gains Tax was not assessed and collected by the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) in the sale of the 7% interest by Anadarko in the Jubilee and TEN Fields in 2021.<\/p>\n

This NPP Government is proving by the day, that the nation’s oil resources cannot be entrusted to their care because not long ago the PIAC under the chairmanship of Dr. Steve Manteaw accused them of their inability to account for about GH\u023c2 billion of Ghana\u2019s oil cash for the 2017, 2018 and 2019 fiscal years.<\/p>\n

This is surely another “Agyapa” deal in the making and we as a Minority will not sit aloof for this Government to raid the national purse, especially at a time when the nation is struggling to raise much-needed revenues for critical expenditure.<\/p>\n

We demand that the Minister of Finance and for that matter Government, must with immediate effect repatriate all such illegal transfer payments back into the Petroleum Holding Fund (PHF).<\/p>\n

Failure to comply with our ultimatum will compel the Minority to use the necessary parliamentary processes to haul the Minister of Finance to parliament for possible censure.<\/p>\n
