"...When I briefed the Old man, he was shocked. And I told him that I was putting one of his boys in charge and he said ok... So far, that boy says they would not do business with Papa Yaw." He went on:"The old man does not understand why SGS cannot facilitate something to be kept upstream. He is not interested in buying waste before he gets his something. He is not interested in factory operating before he gets his something."So he also refused and said that if SGS cannot find something at that level, then we should just give the contract to a different company and SGS will be forced to come and negotiate with the company".

The New Crusading Guide Newspaper, quoting Oman FM, reported on Friday that the two people in the discussion on the tape were allegedly negotiating contract percentage on which company would execute the e-waste contract in Ghana.

The supposed Boy representing the interest of the Old man did not seem to be enthused doing business with Papa Yaw and Mr. Ayariga recounted how he had to plead before he was accepted.

"So I pleaded and pleaded and pleaded. It was only last two weeks that at the last meeting, they said oh ok since you (Ayariga) insist, we will let Papa Yaw in but he won't get 20%. I am telling you they said 10% and so I pleaded and pleaded and pleaded and they said ok 15%".

According to Oman FM, prior to the broadcast of the voice clip, Mr Ayariga was given an opportunity to speak to the leaked audio.
