Government to review draft Petroleum Exploration and Production Bill to safeguard national interest

The Ghana Institute of Governance and Security has urged government to take a second look at the Draft Petroleum Exploration and Production Bill 2013 in order to shift from the present regime where oil blocks are given out on concession agreements. 

The Institute says after a careful examination of the Bill which has been approved by Cabinet, it observed that the Bill when passed in its current form will not inure to the benefit of the nation. 

The Executive Director of the Institute, David Agbee, said this at a day’s workshop organized for the Parliamentary Press Corps in Accra.
