The Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak, says the Minority in Parliament will vigorously oppose the Agyapa Minerals Royalty deal should it be reintroduced in the Mid-Year Budget Review.
According to him, the government has failed, since the time the deal was withdrawn from Parliament, to properly engage with stakeholders as well as the Minority side in order to build consensus for approval.
He also noted that the government over the years has failed to build trust with both the Minority and the people of Ghana in terms of their management of state finances thus, it will be injurious for the state for such a deal to be approved.
According to him, the Majority’s failure to speak on the ills of the deal has left the Minority with no other option than to employ every tactic possible to ensure the Agyapa deal is not passed.
Muntaka Mubarak added that regardless of the revision the government claims it has done to the Agyapa deal, as long as the deal is still referred to as ‘Agyapa’ it shall be opposed.
