The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has instructed the management of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) to suspend its proposed partnership agreement with Tema Energy and Processing Limited (TEPL).
This directive from the OSP comes after Staff of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) expressed their displeasure in partnering with Tema Energy Processing Limited.
In a press release, the Office of the Special Prosecutor cautioned the Managing Director of TOR, Daniel Osei Appiah, that the office has commenced an analysis of the risk of corruption in respect of the proposed partnership agreement between Tema Energy and Processing Limited (TEPL).
The office then directed the Processing Limited to suspend any form of partnership
“You are directed to immediately suspend the proposed partnership agreement, ongoing negotiations, operations and all other ancillary activities arising out of and consequent upon the proposed partnership agreement until you are otherwise advised by the Special Prosecutor.”
