Parliament has approved revised Ameri deal

Parliament has approved the AMERI Renegotiated and Enhanced Agreement despite the minority’s refusal to take part in the voting.

The new deal was laid in the house after a previous agreement was withdrawn. The Ameri deal has been the subject of controversy since parliament first approved it in 2015; leading to the dismissal of former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko.

Urging the house to approve the new agreement, Energy Minister, John Peter Amewu, said the new deal puts to rest all the “controversies surrounding AMERI”.

He said the enhanced deal will save the country some $51 million.

“Nana Akufo-Addo believes in cost-value reconciliation for this country, and it is on that basis that the negotiation arrived at saving an amount of $51m for this country,” he said.

Minority’s Beef

Meanwhile, Minority Spokesperson on Mines and Energy, Adam Mutawakilu, said the NDC’s position on the matter all along was that the AMERI was not fraudulent as had been suggested, and that they have been vindicated.

He said the action by the government does very little to give credence to the NPP’s claim of a supposed bloated contract during the John Mahama government.

“During the NDC era they chastised our deal by saying that the contract had been bloated by $150 million, so they have set a standard, and we thought that by now they will be doing this savings comparison with that statement they made, and that is why we indicated that President Mahama and the NDC have been vindicated.”

The Energy Minister, John Peter Amewu, earlier this month withdrew the controversial AMERI novation agreement before Parliament, and replaced it with what he captioned “renegotiated and enhanced terms” of the power management with AMERI.
