We stay went against to Agyapa bargain - Mahama
Previous President, John Dramani Mahama, hosts repeated his gathering's resistance to the Agyapa Royalties bargain, following ongoing public conversations regarding the matter.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, the 2020 flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), showed that the NDC will enthusiastically go against the arrangement; as government is yet to explain specific charges, encompassing the exchange.
"As I underscored in my show on Ghana at a Crossroads: "Government should explain reports which are overflowing in the venture local area that it expects to utilize the Heritage Fund as guarantee to raise a US$2 billion credit from a consortium of banks.
We wish to serve notice that assuming this ends up being valid, we in the NDC will go against it enthusiastically similarly that we go against the Agyapa bargain.
We can't uphold the collateralization of each and every wellspring of future income just to back the present utilization", the post said.
Mahama's remarks are directly following a new call by the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, for a re-take a gander at the disputable Agyapa Royalties Agreement, rather than leaving it.
Mr. Ofori-Atta said the arrangement should be taken through the fitting system to make it work since it could pay off the country's obligation openness.
Talking at a press preparation to report subtleties of the African Development Bank's 2022 Annual General Meeting on Thursday, the Finance Minister made sense of that the Agyapa bargain "isn't about whether the adaptation of mineral eminences or posting of the organization is awful or great, it is great since that is the manner by which you raise assets".
Notwithstanding, following these comments, scores of concerned residents, have repeated their interests with the arrangement, and asked government to dispose of it through and through.
