Tullow Oil has insisted fresh budget cuts will not affect its projects in Ghana.

However, the company’s CEO Aidan Heavey says a decision was taken early in the year not to cut cost at the Tweneboa-Enyenra-Ntomme (TEN) project and other projects in Ghana.

In other news, President Mahama has issued a stern warning to pair trawlers that they risk arrest because they are destroying the fishing industry.
