He said the move is to ensure that the state is getting value for money on those contracts.

He said: "I proposed the Port Infrastructure Development Fund in 2001, but it did not receive any attention. Thank God, I am now the Director General and it will be implemented. If we had implemented in 2001, I believe we could have generated funding for this project and we will not need any money."

Speaking to the media on the sidelines of a working visit to the Tema Port by the parliamentary select committee on Trade, Paul Ansah said the contracts would be subjected to rigorous review to determine those that are genuine.

"All agreements, all contracts would be taken a second look. Where there is a need to review, it would be reviewed. And where there is a need to let it go, it would be let go. So we will look at the totality of the package of all the projects and see whether the conditions that are spelt out are entirely in our interest or not. If they are not what has to be done to secure the interest of our country better than it is, will be done," he added.
