Mr. Kofi Essuon, External Affairs Manager of Tullow Oil, said any effort to thwart Ghana's investment initiatives would harm the economic interest of the country and investors in the oil sector. He said government would not engage in acts that would create confusion and mistrust in the oil industry, to enable the sector grow. Mr. Essuon was responding to questions on the current impasse between government and Kosmos Energy, at a forum for journalists at Takoradi on Thursday. He said though the impasse was disturbing, it would not affect the current operations of Tullow Oil. Mr. Essuon said that Tullow would not stop the ongoing three-week training for personnel of the oil industry by some service providers but the credibility of such institutions needed to be critically scrutinized to avoid creating problems for the oil companies.
