It has emerged that a Minister of State has sworn to ensure the re-negotiated Ameri deal does not sail through parliament, Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong has alleged.
According to Mr Agyapong, the supposed Minister met with a group of journalists at a hotel in Accra to plot towards “disgracing Boakye Agyarko”.
“A Minister in this government said he will make sure this deal does not go through just to destroy Boakye Agyarko. Why are we doing this to ourselves”, he stated on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Monday.

The Minister of Energy has come under intense pressure to withdraw the reviewed AMERI deal to ensure Ghana makes maximum returns from it.
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Parliament, as well as civil society organizations, have kicked against the new agreement, insisting it will not offer Ghana value for money.
But Ken Agyapong on Ekosii Sen said he wasn’t surprised about the noise the re-negotiated deal has generated.
He alleged that it was part of a well-calculated grand scheme in collaboration with the media to ensure the deal is not approved.
Ken Agyapong has vowed to expose the Minister and his accomplices if pushed to the wall.
