Addressing the press Friday, the acting Chairman of the Mines and Energy Committee, Emmanuel Akwesi Gyamfi, said BOST made some questionable payment to the presidency under the watch of former President John Mahama which requires investigations.

Mr Gyamfi said:"Since 2015, BOST under the guide of secret transfers has transferred unexplained colossal amount of it between $2.5 to 3.5 million on bimonthly basis to the office of the President and the Chief of Staff, the last amount being 3 million which was transferred on January 30, 2017.

“And whether their operations are being managed in accordance with sound business principles and prudent commercial practice.

“Ladies and gentlemen, in the interest of probity and accountability, we call o government to institute probe into the activities of BOST since 2009
