Mr Afred Obeng Boateng, Managing Director of the Bulk Oil Storage and Transport Company (BOST) has been absolved of any wrongdoing in the sale of an off spec petroleum product.

An eight-member committee involving officials of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) were tasked by the sector Minister, Boakye Agyarko to investigate the matter last week following incessant calls from the minority National Democratic Congress (NDC) in parliament for his impeachment.

An interim report that has been submitted to the Energy Minister, suggests the embattled BOST boss committed no wrongdoing in his dealings regarding the off-spec product.

It is expected a detailed report of the findings as unraveled by the investigative team, will soon be made public to settle the dust of the entire controversy that has been a topical issue in the media.

It would be recalled that that five million litres of fuel product was declared off-spec after going through an in-house technical assessment and a laboratory test by the Tema Oil Refinery.

It followed what BOST termed as “human error” which led to the contamination of the product which is said to have resulted in GH ¢7 million loss of revenue to the state.

Calls were intensified for the immediate interdiction of Alfred Obeng Boateng because he is alleged to be complicit in the entire stinky deal.

The Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation (BOST) however says, the controversy over the sale of contaminated fuel is serving no purpose other than to distract from the financial rot overseen by the immediate past BOST Managing Director, Kingsley Kwame Awuah-Darko.

Latest revelations however indicate that Mr Alfred Obeng Boateng has been absolved of any wrongdoing.
