Formulate framework for gold for oil policy – CBOD to govt

The Chamber for Bulk Oil Distributors (CBODs) wants government to urgently develop a framework to direct the gold-for-oil policy to prevent unfair treatment.

Some members of the chamber have already been engaging the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited (BOST), to access the product, a week after the government received the first consignment under the arrangement.

But speaking to Citi News, CEO of the chamber, Dr. Patrick Kwaku Ofori, indicated that the framework is needed to avoid discrimination.

“I think the first consignment has already been there, some of our members were already trading with BOST. Those who already have an existing arrangement with government I think something can be done. Because we are looking forward to a potential or proper framework that will guide the whole process.
