Ghana was close to US$150m Tullow tax settlement – Patrick Boamah alleges
Okaikwei Central MP Patrick Boamah alleges proposed Terms of Settlement could have resolved two Tullow tax disputes for about US$150 million.
Okaikwei Central MP Patrick Boamah has praised former Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame for his essential role in Ghana's successful defense against Tullow Ghana Limited's nearly US$400 million tax arbitration claim. Boamah highlighted that the arbitration process took place during Dame's tenure before the government change in 2025.
He recalled that Tullow filed its arbitration request in February 2023, and Ghana's response, counterclaim, and new arbitrator nomination followed. Boamah credited the Attorney-General's Office for engaging Washington-based law firm Foley Hoag LLP to handle Ghana's defense. He also noted the filing of Ghana's Statement of Defence in September 2024, supported by evidence from four witnesses.
Boamah emphasized that these procedural steps constituted a significant effort by Ghana to contest the arbitration claim.
