KUFFOUR WAS WRONG! IF VODAFONE CAN FIX GT, WHY CAN'T GHANA? SELLING IT WAS NOT THE BEST SOLUTION, IT WAS THE EASIEST WAY OUT. AT THE MINIMUM GHANA COULD HAVE CONTRACTED A COMPANY TO RESCUE GT. ALSO, HOW TRANSPARENT WAS THE TR ...

That is what is wrong with our mentality, government has no business operating factories and industries because of political pressure. The only countries where government have the means of production are North Korea and Cuba ...

PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS WORK VERY WELL AROUND THE GLOBE. A PRIVATE COMPANY COULD RAN IT WHILE THE GOV'T PROVIDES THE LEGAL/SOCIAL FRAMEWORK/SUPPORT. GHANA AS A COUNTRY IS IN DEBT RIGHT NOW AND IF SELLING IS THE SOLUTION W ...

You really sound like a child. The idea of government owning and running of industry has never succeeded anywhere. The PPP you are talking about was tried at GT when Rawlings sold 30 percent of GT for$45 million to Telecom Ma ...

Tell us any government industry or factory that is profitable. Our problem in Ghana and for that matter Africa is that, we think government should provide citizens with jobs, that is not the function of government.

First, Ghana had never had any president called Kuffour. The immediate ex-president of Ghana is KUFUOR.
Kufuor came into power in 2001 and sold GT in 2006. It means that it was because of his poor leadership that he condon ...

Hmm! This writer cannot even spell the name of his own beloved and adorned president. Shame!
The immediate former president is JOHN KOFI AGYEKUM KUFUOR.
First let's cut the childish foolishness out. Whether it's Kuffour or Kufour is not of material importance but I can tell you as an Akan related to people named Kuffour that, the correct spelling of the name is KUFFOUR.

What Important Meeting?? To ship another OBURONI-WAWU to the Jungle??..What a loser!!!
When did you get out of prison? Hope Bubba treated you well and you came out without a leaky anus.
Nobody cares about spelling a state asset seller's name correctly.
Him and Jj and mahama will surely be jailed someday.
In the West, the telecoms are not owned by the country's government but by various shareholders. This makes them more competitive, ensures innovative and cost-effective services are provided on a timely basis, etc, etc.

The arguments for selling are convincing. What was reprehensible was the non-transparency in the sale. we could have gotten more. The other sour part was forcing the VRA's fibre-optic network to be included in the deal. if yo ...

THIS IS A CASE WHERE THE SOLUTION IS WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM! SELLING GT WAS NOT THE BEST OPTION! PPP IS AN OPTION; DOWNSIZING IS AN OPTION; IF GOV'T CAN'T FIX GT, THEY CERTAINLY CAN'T FIX THE COUNTRY. WHICH IS HARDER TO FIX, ...

SELLING GT WAS A VERY REASONABLE MOVE BY THE GENTLE GIANT. RAWLINGS SOLD NSAWAN CANERY TO HIMSELF
BOTH RAWLINGS AND KUFFOUR WERE AND ARE WRONG! BOTH OF THEM WRECKED THE NATION! THEY'RE BOTH WEALTHY NOW.. IF ONLY WE COULD SEE THEIR SECRET BANK ACCOUNTS!! HOTEL WAA WAA AND NSAWAM CANNERY SHOULD BOTH REVERT TO THE STATE!!
Thanks, Mr. President. There is no need of judgement debts here to be paid.
And so what?It's Ghanaian not foreign.The money rests in Ghana;period.
Are u?
The issue here is not a matter of selling or not selling GT.
Top Management of GT knowing that the company would be sold fraudulently depleted the resources of GT before the sale. DR MAHAMUDU BAWUMIAH was a member of the G ...

Typical trokosi nonsense. GT was already in debt to the tune of $150 million before Npp took over in 2001.
Rawlings sold 30 percent of to Telecom Malay and has over staffed GT with Ndc zealots and tribesmen by 4000 people ...

Kuffour your era was heaven on earth! You sold and give us easy life! NDC 26 wasted years what do we see? total hell, They sold and share the money! Woyomi had $51m
I think we should be interested in what brought about the overstaffing, so it can be avoided in other government institutions. Sacking workers is not a best option. Lets tackle these things from the root cause.
Rawlings sold state-run companies so Kufour is right in sell state-run GT? I mean is that a reasonable sufficient argument to dispose off a strategic communication asset of the state that is important for its viable?
Fuck off you idiot. What is strategic about a phone company? Only in Ghana do you fools believe government should own airlines and phone companies.
You deserve to be clasped in metal chains and sold like livestock by the Europeans.
You don't deserve to be an African man.You have no mind of your own and you live by other people's standards.
We will get rid of you and th ...

Don't you think it'd been better for government to re-strategize the running of GT instead of selling it outright?I thought that was the purpose of a leader.
If the creator of that institution had sold it,would Kuffuor had h ...
