He was addressing members of the Government Assurances Committee of Parliament on Wednesday, where he bragged that the AMERI deal is prudent and offers the best in terms of tariff pricing.
“I must state on record that AMERI is the cheapest plant we have in the country,” he said.
According to Kwabena Donkor, “… In terms of thermal plants, it is the cheapest and offers the best in terms of tariff charges,” he stated.
The AMERI deal has become a matter of great public concern following reports that the contract sum was inflated.
The publication by a Norwegian newspaper, VG, also alleged that the $510 million power deal could have been gotten at a lower cost, quoting about $220 million as the going price for the 10 power generators on wheels.
But the Ministry and government have deflated the claims and accused the paper of publishing falsehood.
The paper has thus been sued before court for defamation by AMERI.
