Ministerial Vetting: Company Petitions Appointments Committee To Reject O.B. Amoah For Dishonesty

A sanitation management company has appealed to the Appointments Committee of Parliament to reject Minister of State-designate for the Local Government and Rural Development Ministry, Hon. O. B Amoah.

The company, known as Ghana First Company Limited in a petition to the Appointment Committee noted that Mr. OB Amoah was not truthful as he was supposed to be before the committee as far as some questions asked by the MP for Tamale North, Alhassan Suhuyini are concerned.

According to Ghana First Company Limited, the Minister of State Designate was economical with the truth and hence concealed vital information when asked about the projects of the company carried out across the country.

The Company stated that O.B. Amoah deliberately concealed the actual truth about the entire projects and the Agreements covering them.

In their petition, the company disclosed that OB Amoah twisted the facts and figures about the projects of the sanitation company despite the fact that he has been part of the processes of the projects and also has the documentations of all the projects.

OB Amoah, the company said they believe twisted facts to suit his political parochial interest in order to get approval from the committee and parliament.

“It is in this note that we hereby express our disappointment and dissatisfaction about the responses which Hon O.B Amoah gave on the Ghana First Co. Ltd and the Clean Ghana Project both in his two vettings which are factually incorrect and inaccurate. We strongly believe the minister designate was trying to hide the truth from the good people of Ghana as well as Parliament having regards to the fact that he has all the facts on these projects but twisted the facts to suit his parochial interest for Parliament to approve his nomination,” parts of the company’s petition read.

In view of this alleged dishonesty on the part of O. B Amoah, the company says he does not deserve the approval of parliament to take the role as Minister of State at the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development. His approval, the company says will negatively affect the proper and smooth running of the ministry.

“We strongly believe if Hon. O.B Amoah gets the approval of Parliament to become Minister of State for the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development, it will not augur well for the smooth running of the Ministry of Local Government. This has become necessary for the company to do this because every Ghanaian has an interest in this project and is waiting for this project to start functioning because of its importance and usefulness to the country, and sadly the very person who has the responsibility to make this happen and to tell the whole world the truth about this project has deliberately been hiding the truth about the projects,” the company added.

“From the above, it obviously clear that Hon O.B Amoah has been economical with the truth of the whole Agreement and we humbly appeal to this Honorable Committee not to approve the appointment of Hon O.B Amoah until he has made the full disclosure of the truth of the Agreement and apologize to the good people of Ghana and Parliament.”
