The NDC Minority caucus in Parliament has called for a thorough investigation into the sale of 5 million litres of contaminated petroleum product to a private company called Movenpiina by the Managing Director of the Bulk Oil and Transportation Ltd (BOST), Alfred Obeng Boateng.

According to Peace FM's Parliamentary correspondent Emmanuel Akorli, the minority made this call at a press conference at Parliament on Tuesday.

During the conference which was addressed by former Energy Minister Hon. Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah and former Power Minister, Dr. Kwabena Donkor; the minority noted that the explanation given by BOST to justify the sale of the contaminated product is untenable.

They further said the circumstances regarding the sale of the product lack transparency and integrity.

The Minority therefore demands an immediate interdiction of the BOST Managing Director and immediate withdrawal of the contaminated products from the market.

The Minority Spokesperson on Finance and Member of Parliament for Ajumako/Enyan/Essiam, Hon. Ato Forson also hinted that the nation has lost GHC 14.5 million through the sale of the contaminated product.
