  It’s a good deal of the NDC are opposed to it. Examples of such deals that the NDC opposed that today we know are good for the nation include the National Health Insurance, Capitation, Free SHS, Ghana card,HIPC initiative, LEAP, one laptop per student, smart schools, talk tax, and so on. Even when oil was discovered in Ghana in commercial quantities they said it’s palm kernel. Never trust the nation wreckers.

  You would be surprised to know that many NDC MPs in Parliament don't know anything about this deal yet they would oppose it.As for their followers forget it.

  The country could have generated about 500 million dollars more if the normal bidding procedure has been followed. Tell me why this MPP deal is best for the country.

  Honestly, if what the NDC is saying is true, it highlights what many have suspected for a long time. The NPP has sold the country. Criminals have infested the party and they have a free ride to do whatever they want. I hope that Ghanaians never forgets this criminal behaviour and hold them to account in the future.

  Of course the decision makers have been corrupted. Any time those in government take such foolish and senseless decisions you can be 10000% sure that they have been compromised

  You don't hand over a National asset to a soul company without public bidding process. When you publicly invite bidders the chances are that you'll earn more rather than negotiating a soul deal under the carpet which may end up in kickbacks to the authorising government officials. That deal must be cancelled and properly invite bidders. 5G is a big deal in today's digital composition of our world. A government that is broke don't dash out a cash cow to a foreign company for pittance. Akuffo Addo wants to do what Kufour did with Ghana's oil in 2003 with EO group. In 1993, the GSM licenses were publicly sold to bidders which allowed the likes of MTN, Spacefon and Kasapa to bid. Why do this under cloud of silence?
