"I will not sit on that committee and I think that I have made that known to the minister. The constitution in there is not about me, it is about a representative from the Chamber. So the board will take a decision of who should be there.
"I have commented on the matter, so there will certainly be some sense of prejudice. So I don’t think I am qualified to be part of the committee."
The eight-member committee set up the minister is to investigate the controversial sale of 5 million litres of contaminated fuel by the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation (BOST).
The Energy Minister, Boakye Agyarko, said the committee is expected to among other things “determine the circumstances that created the off-spec product.”
