Criminal CIA agents or some corrupt police are blocking my messages. We must discipline management to perform well and improve services by promoting leadership based on performance rather keep selling all Ghana Assets to foreign entities to enslave your own people - Stop the ignorance before you infuriate me.

They improved the service but enslaved you with poor standard of living by scooping over $10 billions yearly from your economy which is destroying Ghana now.

If you need fruitful foreign investments, they must be in the area of production, such as building plant to produce electronic items, cars, appliances and more that would build the economy and also create jobs. This is the way to think like a leader. I do not want offend. I do not like politics but it looks like Akuffo Addo and Bawumia are speaking sense by taking about creating factories, if only they will do what they say. May God protect them and give them the ability to bring their dreams for Ghana into existence.

The issue is not the political parties but the people in positions. The only way to change the people is to destroy the 2-party systems, so we can "rule by associations rather than by political parties" where everyone's interest will count by joining a preferred association whose leader would seek their interest in government rather have one person appointing people of his her choice to destroy Ghana for political interest. If every industry forms an association elect their president and have their presidents also vote to elect one person every two years to lead Ghana, then the corruption will come to an end because all the president of each associations will ensure that their industry's needs and interest are met else their association members will vote them out. This will bring peace to Ghana and Africa where there many ignorant people. For instance, people are voting on the grounds of handsomeness, tribal affinity, political affiliations, small bribery, and other foolish interest just ruin the future of their own children with propaganda. It is sad to see issues upon issues Ghana. For example, the drainage around circle keeps killing innocent people of Accra and nothing being done about it yet the people still glorify the responsible leadership without caring about their own lives. When you speak the truth, they describe you as troublesome or trouble maker by foolishness – Ignorance

Vodafone was $90 million cash. The cash was deposited in BOG accounts within one week of the purchase, unlike previous privatisations and divestitures (e.g. Black Star Line and various GIHOC subsidiaries) when nobody saw where the money went. In addition, the agreement called for Vodafone to invest up to $500 million within five years in infrastructure improvement. That sum has been exceeded.

By the way, don't forget that the previous NDC government sold 33% of the same company to the Malaysians for $40 million, thus valuing Ghana Telecom at $120 million.

The supposed $1.2 billion offered by a "South African company" was a red herring thrown in to torpedo the Vodafone deal AFTER it was concluded. Before the Vodafone offer of $900 million the highest offer on the table, from France Telecom and others, was $600 million.

Those are the correct facts and figures. Get them straight please.

Here we go again for such empty headed politician asserting that the sale of the Ghana telecommunication has been success while even this very week the CEO of the Vodafone is accusing the Ghana government of not accepting its obligation. Politician with such empty headed should never be allowed to hold any post whatsoever in the ruling government. Now do you the scientific knowledge and bases we have lost since un-intellect and corrupt Kufuor and NPP government including Nana Addo sold the Ghana telecommunication and the Ghana Airways corporations. These two scientific corporations were all operated by Ghanaian trained engineers, pilots, stewards and air-hostesses with vision of competing and improving in modern digital andv fiber engineering. I quite remember that at the time Ghanaian engineers in the telecommunications were about to launch mobile phone one-torch. Nobody is against privatising the most corrupt part of the EGC which the supply and the collection of the true cost electricity based on good maintained meters. Above all, Ghana telecommunications and the Ghana Airways airlines were bringing foreign currencies to solve Ghana economic well being with the rest of the world. So please Mr. BOATENG Gyan you cannot compare things without appraising the economic benefits and the brain drains of the country. Don't worry Kufuor and others will one day bee called to justify their sale of telecommunications and airways corporations and the money the shared before living office like aceampong who sold Ghana shipping lines.

Which Acheampong are you referring to. The fact that you you called ghana shipping line clearly shows you don't know what you are talking about. Rawlings was the one who sold all the ships.

Back in the States there are many Companies in charge of energy customers are free to choose what they want and everything is highly regulated but back in Ghana the case is different. I remember when then P&T was splited and Privitised by NDC to the Malaysians what did we hear from NPP then in Opposition. Ask me where is Mobitel ? Privitazation is very good am waiting for the Office of the President to be Privitised so that Presidents can behave.

Eii Agya Yaw, you're making politics look so interesting and daceitful. You saying this because you need the opposition support. What about National health insurance. You guys opposed it. Four years SSS you guys opposed and quickly reversed it to three years and today the Vice Chancellor st Legon is lamenting about the low quality of students entering the university. The list goes on and on. I just want to point it out to you that if this electricity brouhaha did not come up Agya yaw wouldn't make this big confession. Today NDC is seeing the truth and genuineness in that sale Ghana Telecom which wasn't making any impact. Thank you Agya yaw, thanks be to God for you and your party seeing the light. Long live NPP, long live President Kuffuor, long live Nana Addo coming to continue those good works of Presidnt Kuffuor.

Folks,President John Dramani Mahama has already stolen $10 billion of our money and the Formula one speedster meter that skyrocketing bills has motivate president John Dramani Mahama to do the thing he did to Merchant bank by refusing to paid workers pension funds to the bank that led to its collapse and sold it to his brother to name it Fortis and the same thing he is to ECG by refusing to pay it debts so is the reason he is privatizing ECG so that he use the money he stole from us to buy ECG by using third party.Folks let go to the street to demonstrate and rebel to stop the sale of ECG.Let us show love and patriotism to save out hard sweat and our money invest in ECG for an idiot to sell to himself secretly.

NDC is indeed a shameless political party in Ghana's governance system. The only party that can spit in and turn to lick ????! This same man calling himself president was in parliament and was the very key person who oppose the sale of GT and today he is here referring to it as an example. Was he forced to do what he wasn't supposed to do? Indeed Ghana needs a change.
