General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Johnson Asiedu Nketia has alleged that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo held not less than three meetings with the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) in the US. But he stated that the outcome of those meetings were kept away from the good people of Ghana.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Addressing journalists in Accra on Thursday, October 17, Mr Asiedu Nketia said the meeting was to soothe the otherwise damning consequences of the allocation of the power compact that saw the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) taken over by the Power Distribution Services (PDS) in a deal that was later suspended.<\/p>\n

The NDC scribe said after his return from the US meetings, President Akufo-Addo charged the Energy Minister, John-Peter Amewu, and his deputies as well as leadership of ECG to hold meetings with Manila Electric Company, popularly known as Meralco, over the botched deal.<\/p>\n

Mr Asiedu Nketia said he found it ironical for the Energy Minister to accept the offer to travel to the Philippines to meet a company he had described as \u201cfraudulent\u201d at the peak of the controversy that surrounded the suspension of the PDS deal.<\/p>\n

He said the NDC has been astounded by the emergence of a new company, Meridian Power Ventures, which is claiming a 30 per cent stake in PDS. According to him, this can only be the result of a secret transaction that neither Parliament nor Ghanaians as a whole know about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
