The Ministry of Energy and Petroleum says it will investigate reports that the National Petroleum Authority is paying $63,000 as monthly rent for its offices at East Legon in Accra.<\/p>\n
This was contained in a statement signed by the Deputy Head of Communications, at the Ministry.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Energy and Petroleum has agreed with the public concerns on the high cost of the premises recently rented by the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) as offices.<\/p>\n
According to the Minister, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, \u2018\u2019if the NPA \u2018s\u00a0 office was rented at $63,000 per month as has been reported, then that hardly represents prudent use of state resources, no matter how conducive or appropriate the facility is for their operations.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018\u2019The Minister would be demanding from the Board and management of the NPA an explanation for such a decision, especially the consideration that went into a decision that runs at variance with philosophy and preferences of His Excellency the President as far as the use of public funds concerned,\u2019\u2019 Mr. Buah stated.<\/p>\n
The public is assured that the Ministry will do everything possible to get to the bottom of this matter.<\/p>\n
