The accusations follow a major scandal which involved BOST selling some 5-million litres of contaminated fuel to 38 unlicensed companies, and the subsequent 1.8m crude oil sale in September 2017.
Mr. Boateng was, however, cleared by Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), according to Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko who had set up a committee to investigate the sale.
