\"PDSMr Wilson believes the situation has the potential incurring judgement debts for Ghana<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Director of Communications for the People\u2019s National Convention (PNC), Emmanuel Wilson Jnr has called on Ghanaians to join his fight in exposing a supposed conflict of interest case between the Government of Ghana and the Power Distribution Service.<\/p>\n

He believes the situation has the potential incurring judgement debts for Ghana.<\/p>\n

In the press statement, he said Government has been inaccurate with the details of the partnership agreement signed with the PDS, adding that some people within Government are seeking their personal interests.<\/p>\n

Below is the full statement<\/b><\/p>\n

I have followed the ECG-PSP Transaction for the last 3 years and I am so worried that some of the parties involved are threatening to quit participation in the ECG Concession and return to their country. This is because they feel tricked and betrayed.<\/p>\n

As a patriot, I intend to share my musings with the public over a 10 separate articles.<\/p>\n

Each of this will expose my findings as I answer the pertinent questions yet to be raised, though three of such questions I am about to ask now:

\nThe Government insisted that 51% of the shares should at all times belong to Ghanaians; though that has happened, some individuals who have not sown anything, anywhere, at any time, want to reap a harvest.<\/p>\n

Who are those individuals? Is Solomon Asamoah of GIIF willing to participate in the scheme, and what is his professional judgement about it?<\/p>\n

In answering this question, I shall make reference to the 40-page Shareholders\u2019 Agreement, drafted by the Ghanaian SPV brokers and presented to the Ghanaian local investor component of PDS dated April 2019; Cabinet approval of the concession structure of 2016 and its affirmation in 2017 by the NPP administration;

\nWhy is it that though the agreement between Ghana and PDS guarantees the ownership arrangements, some people think that without forming a consortium out of the Ghanaian equity participating entities there will be no \u201csafeguarding of Ghanaian ownership of PDS in a unified manner\u201d. Is this a genuine motive?<\/p>\n

What is the real motive of the many SPVs springing up Nicodemously all over the place? I shall also answer this question by relying on the Government Support Agreement (GSA) of the concession arrangement, and a letter that the Minister for Finance wrote on the 27th March, 2019) to a Lawyer Akoto Ampaw.<\/p>\n

Who are the individuals who want to, by these schemes, force themselves into the business of PDS? How are they related to this South African rich man who \u201cexpects serious deals in the electricity sector of Ghana, but some people are proving to be stumbling blocks\u201d?<\/p>\n

The public will be informed appropriately on these questions based on the content of the intercepted letter written by the SPV brokers for the signatures of the Ghanaians in the PDS consortium which is dated 7th February 2019, the role of Richard Came, and others;

\nIn the coming days, I am inviting all well-meaning Ghanaians to join me as I expose and fight against conflict of interest and the government\u2019s deliberate failure to respect the agreement terms which may lead to Ghana incurring judgement debt.<\/p>\n

Signed<\/p>\n

Emmanuel Wilson Jnr.

\nDirector of Communications-PNC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
