“PDS, from beginning was not clean technically, financially but my people ignored my warnings. Now we have to defend this shameful thing.
PDS did not have money and even went to BXC [a company disqualified during the bid] for financial support,” he alleged.
The former Obuasi East MP blamed the Millennium Development Authority (MiDA) for not doing due diligence before awarding the contract to PDS.
“These guys at MiDA must be questioned for this embarrassment. They should sit up,” he fumed.
