Financial analyst\u00a0Sydney Casely-Hayford has called on the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) to expand its probe into activities at the\u00a0Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited (BOST) to cover previous administrations as well.<\/p>\n
A\u00a0BNI and National Security report, quoted by the Energy Minister, Boakye Agyarko, exonerated the current head of BOST of any wrongdoing in the recent contaminated fuel saga.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”F3DcpwfGCdQKqwNcET86qRkAlmY0o6Ys”]The Energy Minister stated at a\u00a0press conference that \u201con the basis of previous practice, there was no wrongdoing at BOST on the sale of the 5 million litres of contaminated products.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, Mr. Casely-Hayford who had earlier expressed his belief that problems with contaminated fuel at BOST might have begun when the company was first set up, thinks a comprehensive investigation would help clear any lingering doubts about the activities of the company over the years.<\/p>\n
“Why stop at the current MD. What about the previous one and the ones before? What about the whole BOST institution and the way it\u2019s carrying on. If they [BNI] have taken the initiative and are doing an investigation, why not go all the way back?” he said on Citi FM<\/strong>‘s\u00a0<\/strong>news analysis programme, The Big Issue<\/em><\/strong> on Saturday.<\/p>\n According to Casely-Hayford who is also a leading member of pressure group Occupy Ghana, the best way to deal with the issue at BOST is to set up an independent Commission to investigate the matter.<\/p>\n
