Former Deputy Power Minister, John Jinapor has called on government to set up a bi-partisan Parliamentary enquiry into the controversial five million sale of off-spec fuel by the Bulk Oil Storage and Transport Company (BOST).
Speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', Mr. Jinapor wasn't satisfied with the report of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) which has absolved the BOST Managing Director, Alfred Obeng.
The BNI in their report exonerated the BOST MD meanwhile the Energy Minister, Boakye Agyarko had indicated to establish an 8-member Committee to investigate the issue.
The Ministerial Committee made up of representatives of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), Ghana Standards Authority (GSA), Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors and the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) among others was tasked to thoroughly investigate the BOST contaminated fuel sale to establish the truth in the matter.
But following the BNI report, John Jinapor is certain the 8-member Committee has been dissolved and become inoperative.
He however believes the report is inconsistent with the facts surrounding the sale of the petroleum product and deserves further investigations.
To him, the BNI report smacks of deceit. “I mean why? You can’t deceive us like this. You can’t take us for granted like that,” he stated.
“There’s only one thing that can satisfy the people of Ghana. Nothing but a bi-partisan Parliamentary enquiry into this matter because government has demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that you cannot trust government and so I demand that there should be a full-scale bi-partisan Parliamentary enquiry,” Jinapor stressed.

Did you let the public know that such athing was happening during your term in office. You were virtually the Minister in Charge for the greater part of the 8 years and you supervised such happenings on the quiet. Keep quiet when the drumming party is coming to your house you don't run outside to meet them WAIT THE DRUMMERS WILL CERTAINLY REACH YOUR HOUSE.
Please Peacefmonline, Please NEVER AGAIN will you use JJ for this liaar and thieef. He and his cohorts including Asiedu Nketia are using the Bost issue as a smokes screen to cover up their korrupt acts during the 8-year create-loot and share era. they will cough up every pesewa they have stolen. THERE WILL BE NO BIPARTISAN ANYTHING. They can go and burn the sea
You writers are soo stuppidd in your captions, by referring this idioto as JJ,which JJ? Stop deceiving the public in your reportage.we all know chairman Rawlings as JJ so why so called john jinapor from where mtcheeewww!!!
What bipartisan committee are they talking about? And after a white paper will be issued, and that ends the criminal stealing of Ghana and Ghanaians by NDC thievessssssssssss at BOST? Who do they think they are kidding? The investigations into the 8 years pilfering by NDC ***barred word*** at BOST is the lootersssssss list is getting longer and longer. The reckless NDC thievesssssss of Ghana, involved in the 8 year loot, must line up one by one and return the loot. No bipartisan committee will be formed and no white paper will be issued in this matter.
Paa Nii you are right,the JJ confused me and I asked myself how can Jinapor be JJ it is only president Rawlings who is referred as such and nobody else. Stop confusing as with Jinapor as JJ.
Set up a bi-partisan Parliamentary enquiry? Mr Jinapo, what will you do if the bi-partisan Parliamentary committee is BRIBED? If you live in a glass house don't throw stones.
Please don't refer to him as "JJ". Those initials are sacrilegiously for Prez. J J Rawlings only, no one else!!
