It’s been five months now since Public Agenda started advocating on the need for the Mills administration to take a second look at the Oman Ghana Trust Fund; which is estimated to contain over $800 billion accruing from interests over five decades.
In our last report on the issue in the February 9, Dr. Kwesi Botchwey and Ambassador Osei Tutu were quoted as authenticating the Oman Ghana Trust.
The questions then is what is preventing the Mills' administration from taking quick action to access the fund, instead of going cup-in-hand to beg for donor funds, as has been the case with Ghana?s economic management.
Our inquiries at the Castle have revealed that President John Evans Atta Mills has directed his brother Dr Cadman Atta Mills to handle the Oman Ghana Trust portfolio. Time, they say waits for no man and the earlier the government traced the money, the better it would be for Ghana.
