The intent of maximizing revenue in the extractive sector through the Agyapa Royalties deal initiated by the government in 2020 is not a bad idea, the Chairperson of the Civil Society Platform on Oil and Gas, Dr Steve Manteaw has said.
However, he said the lack of public trust and confidence in the government is one of the main reasons for the delay in the implementation of the deal.
Presenting the Civil Society Platform on Oil and Gas findings as part of a report on how political considerations impact efforts to improve governance and development outcomes of Ghana’s extractive sector in Accra on Thursday [April 22, 2021], Dr Manteaw said the thought and the intentions to optimize revenue from the extractive sector was laudable.
