The Ranking member for the committee on Mines and Energy, Adam Mutawakilu has indicated to journalists in Parliament that the Speakers committee would haul before it Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) to appear before the committee.
According to the Damongo lawmaker, since January 2017 till date there has been several invitation sent to TOR to meet the committee but that has fallen on deaf ears and added that whatever business TOR is running they are doing that for the people of Ghana.
“We are the representative of the people of Ghana and the Speakers committee has the powers of the High court he lamented”, in an interview.
He further pointed out that the committee has to look at their finances because, any debt incurred is that of the people of Ghana. This twenty four million dollars put up by Institute of Energy Security (IES) is debt of this country and we all know we have to bring TOR debt recovery levy, and we are not going into debt TOR management has been very inefficient in the affairs of the company.
Mr. Adam Mutawakilu added that as a committee they would put pressure to bears for TOR to appear before them and when that is achieved the committee would let the media know.
As to whether Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of TOR, Isaac Osei being his former colleague that is why they are dragging their feet, he said, “when you shift to the executive side you should respect Parliament in terms of our oversight”.
