IMANI states that Amewu's response to Aker's energy sales agreement is weak

At a press conference, Mr. Amewu said IMANI had blundered.

Law 919 states: "The Minister must approve a development and exploitation plan only if … the Minister has received a recommendation from the Commission and the agencies concerned …"

"On the basis of a thorough study of Aker Energy's PoD, the Commission concluded that it could not be approved in its current form. As previously stated, in a letter dated 17 April 2019, the Commission transmitted an advisory document containing the reasons for which the DDA can not be approved; to the minister, stating in particular that Aker Energy should review the DDA in order to comply with the necessary provisions of the law and PA DWT / CTP, "said the minister.

He also denied that the country risks losing $ 30 billion if state interests were not protected.

But Mr. Bentil is not satisfied with the explanation given. He thinks there has been a game of information.

"We did not understand that quickly, we worked on it for a long time … according to Aker's own press release, they said we had found between 400 and 550 million barrels and we could even recover more than that.

"If you take only 550 million barrels of oil and you even multiply it by $ 60 a barrel, you will come to the conclusion that the oil fields we have discovered are worth $ 30 billion," he said. -he adds.
