The
Member of Parliament-elect for the Ofoase Ayirebi constituency in the
Eastern Region, said new contractors who are signing contracts with the
government should desist from celebrating their achievements indicating
that the contracts will be reviewed appropriately.
Speaking
with host of Abusua Nkommo on Abusua FM Kwame Adinkrah, he bemoaned the
outgoing government’s failure to communicate the signing of contracts
and appointments with the incoming government.
He
questioned why the outgoing government transition team did not consult
them on the appointments when they had agreed to do so.
‘We
want the public to know that we were not privy to the appointments and
signing of contracts by the outgoing government transition team, though
government has the right to do so, for a smooth transition period, we
had agreed to communicate with each other on any plans of a sort, when
our leaders asked them why they refused to consult us, they said they
are still in power, and that President Mahama can appointment whoever he
wants.
Our President-elect Nana Addo has said
we should let the public know that the outgoing government has the right
to make appointments but those involved should also know that the
incoming government also has the right to review these changes. Our
confidence in the process is a bit shaky but we are not losing hope, we
are serving notice to businesses especially those who are not ‘innocent
third party without notice’ signing contracts with government in secrecy
not to think of judgement debts if contracts are reviewed,’ he
cautioned.
He pleaded with the outgoing
government to be discreet in his appointments and issuing of new
contracts to avoid perceived witch-hunt when the new government takes
over.
