When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

Dr Wereko Brobbey why talk now of privatisation?
What did you do when you were the CEO of VRA for some years? The fact you were the CEO you could have influence ex President Kuffour to see this type of vision or initiative. Somehow, you woefully failed the very company. Why you only used that position to amass State wealth for yourself, colleagues and friends. Your suggestion which me as a financial management man is luadable does seems a bit late.
The fact is you knew very well such idea was good indeed for Ghana. But, because you were benefiting you did not make any attempt to put this across to the then Government in power - NPP. To many of us enlighten Ghanaians overseas we clearly see you as very corrupt to the core. Development of Social infrastructure
of a country: Electricity, Water, Housing, Health, Job creation etc should never ever be a partisan issue but bipartisan so as to enhance progress/advancement. Seemingly, the opposition party in Ghana has never understood such framework in politics.
The question is if the NPP cannot just educate themselves to understand 21st century politics to help develop Ghana, then I personally do not know when Ghana can move.
Obviously, I am inclined to believe strongly that during your tenure of office at VRA, the company almost went bankrupt. This based on figures released sometime ago. Yet Kuffour and Kwadjo Npiani thought it wise to also put you on so called Golden Jubilee Celebrations Board in Ghana. What a lot of coblers, for people in Authority in Ghana to always put square pegs in round holes. This surely creating underdevelopment in the country. It is 56 years since independence, yet look at the state of the country.
In the Developed Countries, it is always Private Enterprise that operate s Energy undertakings. The pure financial reason is that these industries are capital intensive. Thus, requiring huge initial capital. Hence Dr Nkrumah had to use both West/East know how to bring about the building of both Akosombo, VRA and Job 600 and Housing Estaes. Yet, your ignorant so called tradition of Danquah/Busia vehemently objected to these noble infrastructures. The question is how many times has your tradition come to power? Oh many times. Were they able to put up a single project that they can point to, I doubt that.
Disgustingly, NPP came to power with aphony idea of "Property Owning Democracy". And what did they do, they sold all old built properties and lands to themselves. What a disgraced party. If I were you the money I stole whilst at VRA will enable me to get some friends to even acquire or bid to run VRA as a private entity. So please think about this Dr Brobbey.

It is obvious that small government and more privatization works better and leads to efficiency, even China the mother of communism has realized that and opened its markets to private companies. The problem with Ghana is that they are so corrupt that when a government enterprise is sold or contracted out to the private sector, it is always made at a loss to the government. The private business person has to “pay” so many corrupt government officials that the company is almost at a disadvantage before work begins, then of course, comes the judgment debts which again the government officials seem to encourage, collude and thrive on to amass more ill-gotten wealth. Our general attitude/corruption is our downfall.

Well said! But, the sudden stream of the so-called good ideals Dr. Wereko Brobbey has been chumming out lately before all could have been appropriated to his own NPP government during their eight year occupation at the helm of affairs for the benefit of Mama Ghana to ease or even erase the untold burden on the citizenry pertaining to the often shortfalls in our energy sector.
So, the million dollar question is, why now? In fact, wasn’t he once the guru man at the Volta River Authority (VRA) who bankruptcy became his only and obvious companion he could easily and successfully smile to on the fringes of their proudly publicised eight years? Now, here he is once more preaching how best to manage business at that same outfit he once led into insolvency, huh?

Any sensible person would take the sense in his statement and discard the chaff. Now you tell me, does it make sense to privatise VRA or not? Forget about who said it, the fact that he got it wrong during his time at VRA does not mean everything that comes out of his mouth is wrong.
If you are able to adopt that selective attitude of taking constructive suggestions and not personalising issues, you can always make a difference. No one is saying he would be given VRA to run again. All i am saying is there is sense in what he is saying, unfortunately he failed to deliver when he was in charge.
I don't argue based on hearsay. You claim he stole the running capital of the company...really???? Well i guess you have your source of info but only kept it to yourself.

Unfortunately, you seem to be the negative type. The fact is your first write up was that since Wereko Brobbey has CEO of VRA before so he knew what is talking about now.
However, this does not make sense. This guy Wereko Brobbey says he is an 'energy expert' but when appointed by a Government to put things right he failed woefully and this is the cruze of my article. The understanding is that as an expert on energy he was supposed to tell the Government in power this initiative that he is trying to throw around. As a management man and having many good and vibrant CEOs' in my time around the world, I am telling what he, Brobbey should done.
The fact is a CEO has immense power to turn around failing companies. An easy examples abound like the four major American companies just a year ago. What about Ghana National Petrol Company. Management at higher level requires great vision. More so Dr Brobbey could have done better when inside by pursuing his present idea.
He simply failed Ghana by rather personally the little capital left the account of VRA when he was appointed.
By the way what prevents Brobbey to presents a 'paper' on his idea when NPP was in power?

Yes Danny, but you and i know that once your position is a political appointment, you may sometimes have very good ideas but if the Government of the day refuses to buy into your ideas, you are snookered. You are put in such positions and controlled like a puppet.
Are the four major American companies you talk about Government run or owned companies? where the four CEO's government appointees? It is the constant interference from government especially in Africa that makes some jobs almost impossible. Why is Vodafone making profit today but never saw profit during PNDC/NDC/NPP days when it was govt owned? There was too much interference from govt.
I am not quick to judge others becasue you never know the circumstances under which they operated. I agree the buck stops with the CEO but my argument is you never know whether he did suggest to the then NPP govt VRA should be privatised but his suggesgtion was shot down for political reasons.
He failed, and i am not defending him, but that does not mean if he makes a sensible suggestion today you should be all guns blazing to shoot it down.
Experience has taught me to be careful how one criticises and condems others.
Unless you find yourself in certain situations, you will never understand why those before you failed. And please don't compare CEO's in America to politically appointed CEO's in Ghana.

Do you need a reason? If over 28 years successive Govt's have not been able to run the energy sector successfully why should we continue with more of the same?
A good leader knows when to change course. The problem with Ghana is we do the same wrong things over and over again expecting different results. Putting sentiments aside, though people argue that GT was sold for a pittance, one thing that is certain is the new privitised company is making enough profits to enable them run the Ghana office without financial assistance from head office and at the same time making a profit right here in Ghana, something GT could not do. Why so?
The most important things is making sure that the company that takes it over must have proven track record to enable them invest and turn things around.

Those who did not know that Ghana's rich who got their riches through stealing from national coffers are the very people who are strong advocates for property seeking society should at the very least listen carefully when Ghana's so-called elite talk about privatization. This is an experiment that has taken place in the US, India, Russia and most nations around the globe.
In the US the robber barons of yesteryear became rich at the expense of the nation and created islands of rich families (Rockefellers etc) that have lasted unto today. In India the powerful families bought out everything of value and now control passage of laws which seek to address public interest; they ensure no competition and or legislation that curbs their greed. In Russia there are instant billionaires because the state sold off assets that existed for the benefit of all but are now privately owned while everyone suffers and or lives at the dictates of these oligarchy.
In Ghana Kwame Nkrumah knew not to engage in the sale of national assets right after Ghana's independence because of idiots who would have subjected Ghanaians to their greed and love of money. This Wereko Brobbey guy could not and did not tell Ghana's government for which he served over the years that what Ghana's priorities should be is to pay all its employees on time and starting at descent minimum wage capable of sustaining families of five (5). Like every thief that walks in Ghana they want the few with Ghana's stolen money to become owners of utilities that gives them unlimited customers to guarantee a lifestyle they desire and the clout for their families yet unborn. It does not take privatization to improve companies; it takes people with foresight, wisdom and intellectual honesty

is wereko brobbey indeed an energy expert? Mr. Mould seems to have exposed him when he claimed he will sue government if fuel prices were increased as there was no subsidies as claimed

What is wrong with ghanaians?It appears we are only interested in personalizing and tribalizing issues.The energy sector is the backbone of the nation's economic development and needs to be efficiently managed.Dr Wereko Brobbey's suggestion is part of the wider debate to find a permanent solution to its present mismanagement.If we disagree with him we only have to put our views forward and not personalize the issue and rain insults on him.We are allowing tribalism,personal hatred and affiliation to political parties to cloud our good sense of judgement.This does not augur well for the nation.It makes us look very primitive.

See who came to dinner, Wereko Brobbey? The disgraced and insensitive criminal, who claimed he was an energy expert years gone by. The man who bankrupted the Ghana at 50. The man who cheated on that beautiful woman called Joyce Aryee; says Ghana should give him a forth chance. Wonders will never end. Yesterday, it was the lousy mouth and brother of another disgraced former NDC Minister for Justice and Atty General under Mills, Alex Mould. You remember her? She is called Betty Mould Iddirisu. Oh the clouds are forming and they are beginning to throw dust into the eyes of unsuspecting Ghanaians to steal from us through the back door -called divestiture or privatization of energy sector of the economy. Alex Mould wants to sell off TOR, and here comes Ashante poster child, Wereko, says lets sell off VRA. Why did you not sell off VRA when you had your turn as the CEO, Wereko? John Mahama, we are watching you and your ministers. Indigiens must have a stake in their own economy and not foreigners. This how a country develops. Even Obama is saving jobs in US for Americans away from the preying eyes of the Chinese. Mould should be removed and Mahama stay away from selling the only remaining state asset Nkrumah bequeathed to us. Hands of TOR, hands off VRA, rogue NDC men and ungrateful beings." God's eyes are watching over you. You criminals go away from Ghana. Have those pushing for the sale of TOR and VRA asked who are behind those criminals and why all of sudden the need to dislodge government's interest in TOR and VRA? Have those same people asked themselves why Iran is facing fuel shortages when they produce a sizeable amount of energy and yet have had to import refined petroleum products from Europe and other places? Its because they do not have Oil refineries of their own. John Mahama seem to want quick money, eh? The $170 millions in his Swiss Bank account is not enough? Ghanaians must open their eyes. NDC is gone rogue. Jerry Rawlings, do not shut your mouth. Speak out. You are the only honest man in NDC left. Speak and do not allow the rogues to steal in the name of NDC.

Privatization is the NOT and I repeat is NOT the problem facing Ghana. Since the overthrow Of the most sensible, patriotic and the one who had his country and Africa at heart, DR Kwame Nkrumah. All previous governments have been selling state own companies because IMF and the West told them so and come to us to borrow. We can never think for ourselves, since most educated Ghanaians are paper tigers. Only read books and acquire doctorate degrees to steal. We can not manage our own state establishment becuase we are CORRUPT to the core and ONLY think about how much we can steal to help our family and friends. If we continue like this by selling everything what do our children and grand children have? We have sold everything from gold to Post offices. Haba haba!!!! We are so incompetent but just talk and give useless speeches. Look at what they did to Ghana Airways and we continue to vote for the same IDIOTS who can not think but only to steal from the poor. Petrobas , the Brazil Energy giant is a public company which is managed and structured by Brazilians and many others, Emirates Aitlines. All we know is sell, so we can profit from 10% and leave the poor suffering. After 56 years we can not provide the basic necessities of life: water, electricity, food and basic hygiene but big talk and bullshit and thinking that every person who has a doctorate degree is smart. We need competent people not just people with degrees who are only in office to STEAL! STEAL and STEAL. The problems we have is bribery, corruption, tribalism and lack of honest Ghanaians.

History and experience from the UK and US have shown that putting the control of the energy sector in private hands can work negatively against the state. Especially in this day and age of globalization, all it takes is for a big external company to take over a local one and you will be held to ransom just as we have no control over our financial sector because of external control.
Dr Wireko-Brobbey has not convinced me on this one and I would prefer to have a proper assessment with facts and figures to show what value-for-money we will benefit. Plus, private control will mean government cannot leverage prices and frankly the situation will be worse than what we are witnessing right now. Sorry Opanyin, think again about this.
