Torentco deal: We’ll give OSP all the necessary documents – TOR Board

The Board of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) has promised to provide the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) with all the necessary documentation for its investigations into the refinery’s intended deal with Torentco Asset Management Limited (TAML).

In a bid to turn TOR from a debt-ridden company to a profitable path, a special-purpose vehicle with the name Torentco Asset Management Limited was set up to champion the lease agreement.

Torentco Asset Management also created a special-purpose vehicle named Tema Energy and Processing Limited (TEPL) to ensure that this vision is achieved.

However, several policy think tanks, including IMANI Africa, have raised red flags over the deal.
