The Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta will in the coming days send the controversial Agyapa Royalties agreement back to Parliament for further scrutiny.
This follows an assessment report of the deal submitted to the President by the Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu on the deal.
The directive to the Finance Minister is upon the orders of the President, Nana Akufo-Addo who believes the return of the deal to parliament will ensure transparency and probity.
In his corruption risk assessment of the much-talked-about transaction, the Special Prosecutor argued that consultations over the agreement were not comprehensive and innovative enough.
He further disclosed that the selection and appointment of advisors for the agreement did not meet the “fundamentals of probity, transparency and accountability.”
Mr. Amidu in his report took a swipe at the various officials who took part in the processes leading to the approval of the agreement.
According to him, the actors flouted several laws with impunity prior to the approval of the agreement.
