The Minority in Parliament of Ghana has petitioned key state institutions over an alleged sole-sourced contract between companies linked to Deputy Chief of Staff in charge of Operations, Stan Dogbe, and GoldBod.
The petition, led by Member of Parliament for Odotobri, Anthony Mmieh, was submitted to the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) and the Office of the Special Prosecutor for investigation.
The Minority argues that the deal raises concerns of conflict of interest and breaches of procurement processes, particularly the use of sole sourcing, which they say the current government had previously criticised while in opposition.
They are also expected to petition the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) over the matter.
At CHRAJ, Registrar Daniel Annan received the petition and assured the MPs that it would be given the necessary attention.
