Chairman of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Works and Housing and Natural Resource, David Tetteh Assumeng says, the opposition NPP should be blamed for the collapse of the infamous STX Korea deal because of the bad advice they gave to the Ghanaian partner in the deal, Mr. BK Asamoah.
Mr. Asuming says Mr. BK Asamoah surrounded himself with lawyers from the opposition NPP who wrongly advised and influenced him about the STX deal, hence the long standing boardroom wrangling that led to the collapse of the deal.
He said the NPP realizing that there was nothing they could do to stop the STX deal from coming to force, resorted to all forms of tactics aimed at terminating the project.
Speaking in an interview with Adom News, the Shai Osudoku Member of Parliament said when the former Minister of Works and Housing Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin became aware of the grand machination of the NPP against the project, he adviced Mr. BK Asamoah to change his legal advisors but he failed to give him a listening ear.
According to the Chairman, when Mr. Asamoah failed to heed to the former minister’s advice, he was convinced beyond doubt that the project would fail because the NPP lawyers surrounding Mr. Asamoah were wrongly influencing him.
Assumeng Tetteh said the NDC government did no wrong in giving the project to Mr. BK Asamoah because they believed he could do the job even though he had some records back in the erstwhile NPP administration where a contract was given to him but failed to deliver.
Mr. David Assumeng Tetteh however he had no idea as to whether government committed some amounts into the project at the initial stages.
