Coordinator for the Third World Network (TWN-Africa) has described as bizarre a directive by President Akufo-Addo for the Agyapa Royalties Agreement to be sent back to Parliament for approval.

Dr Yao Graham said the deal is flawed in many aspects, therefore, does not serve the best interest of the public.

"The proposal doesn't stand up in the face of the consensus that the Office of the Special Prosecutor's report finds; (in connection) with all the technical, economic processes and the criticisms that have been made of the Agyapa deal," he said.

Following findings in a Corruption Risk Assessment conducted on the Agyapa deal by Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, President Akufo-Addo directed Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta to send the deal back to Parliament for review.

The President said the order is "in the best interest of transparency and accountability."

In the report, the Special Prosecutor established that, there was reasonable suspicion of bid-rigging and corruption activity in the selection process of the deal.

He added that, upon analysing the transaction document, he discovered that the arrangements lacked transparency.

As a result, Dr Graham who said the deal was bad from the onset, added that, he finds attempts by President Akufo-Addo to make the agreement work, bizarre.

"If the President is acting in the interest of the beneficiary owners of the resource, why does he want to persist with something which has been found to be flawed," he added.
