The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MIIF, Edward Nana Yaw Koranteng, made the disclosure when he appeared before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament.
The Mines and Energy Committee, in a letter dated February 20, 2024 and signed by Senior Assistant Clerk to the Committee, Benjamin Tachie Antiedu, asked Mr. Koranteng, saying it had taken notice of publications and public discourse relating to the subject matter.

According to the letter, the Committee expects the information to be delivered to its Secretariat latest by Tuesday, February 27, 2024.
