The Minority in Parliament has hinted of dragging the Finance Minister to the floor of Parliament to explain the circumstances surrounding the alleged financial impropriety involving IT firm, Subah InfoSolutions Ltd.
Minority Spokesperson on Finance, Dr Anthony Akoto Osei, said he was a bit confused about the mandate of the firm and needed clarity from the minister
He was speaking to Joy News' Francisca Kakra Forson on Monday.
Subah InfoSolutions has been accused of receiving some four million Ghana cedis monthly, totaling Ghc144 million over a period of two and half years for no work done.
They were contracted in 2010 by the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) to monitor and verify the volume of calls generated by telecom companies for tax purposes but failed to carry out their mandate.
The Commissioner General of the GRA, Mr George Blankson, in an interview with Joy FM said Subah Infosolutions Ltd. was not known to have any previous experience in monitoring and verifying volumes of phone calls for the purpose of calculating the Communication Service Tax.
He, however, said the company, which was selected without going through competitive bidding, has IT experts from India and other parts of the world.
Government has begun investigations into the alleged impropriety.
Dr. Anthony Akoto Osei said the Minority has little details on the whole deal and must be briefed.
He found it a bit intriguing that Subah was contracted to begin work at a time when the ACT of Parliament, which legalizes their operations, had not been passed.
He also questioned how the IT company was doing the monitoring when the telcoast companies had not been informed about its operations.
He said the Finance Minister must come to Parliament to address the concerns of the minority.
