Haruna Iddrisu, the Minority Leader has challenged the ruling New Patriotic Party to declare its official position on the AMERI Power deal.
According to him, government’s official position on the matter would guide the Minority’s next line of action on the issue.
Mr Iddrisu gave the challenged when he spoke to the media in Parliament where Mr Kobina Tahiru Hammond, Member of Parliament (MP) for Adansi Asokwa is asking the House to rescind its approval of the Ameri Power agreement.
Mr Hammond has filed notice for a motion in Parliament seeking a rescission order on the AMERI Transaction and Contract.
He is also requesting the House to rescind its decision on the basis of gross misrepresentation.
Mr Iddrisu also warned that if Parliament took a decision to rescind the agreement, it would have dire consequences on the country’s energy generation, adding that this could bring the nation back to power outage “dumsor”.
He said the Standing Order 93 on which Mr Hammond was bringing the motion was for current the Parliament not the earlier one.
Mr Iddrisu also noted that the AMERI Power contract was to deal with an urgent energy crisis at the time when the nation needed to increase its generation capacity.
He said because of the energy crisis the government entered into a contract with the AMERI Energy from the UAE.
He said the appropriate forum for Mr Hammond was to go to court on the matter and not for the House to rescind its decision on the AMERI Contract.

Haruna, you are saying that when the Ameri deal is concalled, the Dumsor will come so why don't you allow the contract to be cancelled and the Dumsor come. After all you are not the person to be blamed. It is the Government in power who would be blamed. So why don't you stop the noise making.If you have nothing to gain from the deal, keep quiet.
but haruna is an opportunist. Can't people see that? He always use situations, students, political party, consitutents to his OWN benefit. Look through his history and you will see that he is a big opportunist who takes advantage of situation for his personal benefit and makes it look like he is helping you. charlatan
Hey, p3p3nin. You are NOT in government, okay? In fact, after 8 years as a inccompetent minister, you and your friends were BOOTED OUT!!! Get that straight! Know your place!!! Stuuuupppppiddd boy!!!!
is the AMERI plant still in operation and the boakye agyarko is being touted as the best energy minister ever in Ghana because no dumsor has occurred so far? Ghana foo montie.
Haruna Iddrisu is becoming a big problem for this country, regarding his comments and threats about everything the government wants to do. He has forgotten the president has a mandate and also to protect the public purse. The question is, is the deal transparent considering the huge amounts involved in the AMERI Deal? Haruna, give suggestions and put a stop to your empty threats. Go to the ant and get some tutorials on his experience and wisdom.
