I Am Responsible For Failed PDS Deal – Peter Amewu

Former Energy Minister John Peter Amewu has indicated that he’s to blame for the failed PDS deal.

“As the sector minister at the time, I’m responsible for the asset and reliability of the ministry and so yes even though it was a cabinet decision, yes I take responsibility for it,” the Hohoe lawmaker told the Appointments Committee at his vetting Wednesday.

The PDS deal was suspended due to alleged material breaches in the provision of the demand guarantees by PDS, which were key prerequisites for the turnover of the assets and facilities.

They were contracted to operate and maintain the assets and facilities of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
