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 Malay which the government bought back six years later at $110 million.
Now Ghana owns 30 percent of Vodafone Ghana.

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.
Government should rather create an environment conducive for private industries to thrive and employ people. This is the problem we have in Ghana now.
We have 700,000 government workers accounting for 70 percent of government revenue when we can run the government with 300,000.
Vodafone bought GT with 6500 workers losing$50 million a year. It reduced the workforce by laying off 4200 people off by giving them cash incentives. Vodafone is now being profitable with 2300 doing the work 6500 government workers were doing and losing money.
People get government jobs and work three hours daily instead of the eight hours expected and ran the business aground without any punishment. We have the mentality of "ABAN ADWUMA" ,to wit, government job and don't care what we do.
That attitude has been discovered everywhere including Soviet union. When Soviet union broke up, they found government was not operating well because four people were doing every government job that should be done by one person.

So if any state-owned enterprise is being mismanaged, it should be sold? Ridiculous! Did you consider the welfare and whereabouts of the over 4000 redeployed Ghanaians?

My nephew who played for Bayern Munich and Blackstars name is Sammuel (Sammy) Osei -Kuffour. I went to school with a lot of people named Kuffour and that name is always spelled with two "F's" not one "F" but if President Kuffour's name is spelled with one F, so be it.
I will respond to your other childish argument comprehensively when I come back from this important meeting, you can count on it.
Any Akan can tell you Kuffour is spelled with double "F" not one. I doubt if you are Akan or you would not have embarked on this triviality nonsense. Get a life, will you?

I can't comment if $900m was the right amount for the company. I don't know if some NPP people go rich from the deal. I do know that Vodafone is the world's largest network and that strength and resources can be called upon by the Ghanaian operations.
I am also wondering where all the NDC personnel who were calling for the reversal of the deal when they were in opposition? I respect the civil society groups who didn't think it was the right moral transaction (although I disagree with them) but they at least are holding to their convictions. The NDC stopped shouting from the mountain top as soon as they got into power. No one tried to reverse the deal. Why not?

KUFOUR WAS WRONG !
Nonsense. millions of people in Ghana - and ghana telecom had only 400,000 people on telephone since 1950-something. Kuffour inherited debt and sorted it out. by incorporating a sale and negotiated opportunity for GT to Vodaphone, he paid off another 400 million debt, spent 500 mill on improved things for GHana, and so on. Vodaphone has invested and updated the telecom structure plus trained people. They are doing well and re-investing in the local economy. Something no one in ndc will ever achieve. What did Malaysia do with their 30% shares? Fuck all! Just like their sunken aeroplane,...
Tell me something o thou holy supporter of NPP. What would you have done? Some years from now, we can even buy back more shares from vodaphone to have a bigger stake in the company.

First, get it out of your head that the state of Ghana is managing any factory or industry profitably. Name one government factory or industry operating profitably. I am against government operating factories and industries except Water and electricity supply.
Even petrol importation and pricing should be left in the hands of private companies to avoid government monopoly and shortage of supply.
Dr Kwame Nkrumah building factories when the country attained independence was in the right direction initially because we did not have individuals with the financial ability to embark on those projects but those factories and industries should have been privatized five years after it being established. Do you know that all those Nkrumah factories in 1965 were operating at only 25% of their capacity and losing money?
I just don't know why some of you fools are still supporting government operated industries when countries like Russia, China, and other socialist countries have abandoned that economic foolishness and are now supporting private operated companies for economic advancement.
Only in Africa and for that matter Ghana that you still see fools agitating for government to operate Airlines, Telecoms and other industries.

Man Arrested For Having Sex With 7 sheep
29, GNA -
A 36-year-old carpenter was on Tuesday sentenced to 36 months imprisonment in hard labour by a Kumasi Circuit Court for carnally knowing seven sheep.
Kwaku Amable pleaded guilty to the charge.
Prosecuting, Police Chief Inspector Comfort Baffour-Kyei told the Court presided over by Mr Justice Emmanuel Amoh-Yartey that the complainant, Adamu Issaka is a security man with the Kent Security Firm, who live with Amable in the same area at Buokrom Limex Quarry. She explained that Adamu who rears sheep at his backyard noticed that seven of his livestock had died mysteriously within a month.
At about midnight on March 25, the complainant was awoken by the bleating of one of the sheep in a pen compelling him to find the cause.
Adamu approached the pen with a flash light and saw a pair of bathroom sandals at the entrance as well as a towel hanging on the pen.
He became more curious and when he entered it, he detected that one of the sheep was lying down weak and upon examination found out that some whitish fluid was lodge in its vulva.
Adamu became astonished and decided to look round to ascertain who might have entered the pen and to his surprised, the light fell on Amable, who was hiding in his backyard garden naked.
Amable started pleading for mercy and asked Adamu not to disclose it to anyone. The complainant agreed but later changed his mind and made a report to the police leading to the arrest of the convict. In his caution statement, he confessed sleeping with four of the animals on different occasions.

Man jailed for having sex with a sheep
Dzodze, Nov 27, GNA - Yao Flah, 23, a kente weaver, is to go prison for 12 months for having sex with a female sheep and killing it afterwards. He pleaded guilty to the charges of an unnatural carnal knowledge and cruelty to an animal at a District Court at Dzodze, which sentenced him to 12 months for each charge to run concurrently.
Police Inspector Emmanuel Ankrah at Tadzewu, prosecuting, said Flah lived at Akanu, near Tadzewu on the Dzodze-Akatsi road. He said on November 23, the complainant, the owner of the sheep, returned home at around 1800 hours to find the tethered pregnant sheep missing.
Mr Ankrah said the complainant during a search found it (sheep) dead in a nearby bush with a patch of fluid around its genitalia. He said following a hint, the complainant summoned Flah before the elders, where he admitted having had sex with the animal before piercing its throat with a knife.
Mr Ankrah said Flah was thereafter handed over to the police. He told the court the convict was sometime ago arrested for defiling a juvenile but prosecution was stalled because of lack of interest by the complainant.
Flah prayed the court for leniency saying he was drunk but Mr Anthony Abebrese, Presiding Magistrate, said he was a deviant who should be put away for sometime to reform.

Man Fathers 9 Kids With Daughter, Pleads For Forgiveness
Agbofa Yao Hateka, the 47-year-old fetish priest who fathered nine kids with daughter has pleaded with a Sogakope circuit court to forgive him his sins as he would not do it again.
He has so far made two appearances in the Sogakokpe Circuit Court for having nine children with his daughter, four of whom were dead.
Agbofa Yao Hateka was in the Sogakope court on 12th and 13th July charged with incest. According to the prosecutor, inspector Emmanuel Atsor, the case was reported to the Dabala Police by a certain Torgbey Sekpetey II, chief of Ashagborkope, who is also a tax collector. The complainant told the police on June 7th 2012 that the accused was married to his biological daughter, Baby Hateka with whom he has nine kids. Yao Hateka allegedly impregnated Baby and subsequently had eight other children with her. Out of the lot, there were now five kids aged 14, 12, 3, 2 and a month-and-a-half old. During the interrogation however, Baby Hateka told the police she had eight other children with her father out of which three died, contradicting the accused person’s narration that he had only a two year old baby with his daughter.
The accused would not allow anybody to intervene as he allegedly threatened people with death if they meddled in his sexual relationship with his daughter. He allegedly threatened to invoke the spirit of his gods to deal with meddlers. The accused told the court that he was both a farmer and a fisherman, although the prosecution witness claimed he was unemployed. Before his arrest, the accused told the police that his daughter suffered from sickle cell anaemia, and had come to stay with him from a cocoa-growing area. Torgbey Sekpetey II had earlier fined the accused a fowl so his daughter could be cleansed before reporting the matter to the police. The case has been adjourned to 20th July 2012 for judgement.**
July 5, 2012 8:42:51 AM Drama In Court As Carpenter Gets 10 Years For Incest
Date: 27-Jan-2012
A 40-year-old welder; Emmanuel Kwesi Yevu, who is accused of defiling his 13-year-old daughter blamed his action on “juju,” (magic) when he made his second appearance before a Circuit Court in Accra.
Yevu told the court that somebody had cast a spell on him because he was getting more customers in his carpentry business.
When the court asked why he defiled his daughter, Yevu said: “My Lord the thing came on me in a spiritual form. I sometimes dream that I am sleeping with my late wife. I took in some alcohol on the day in question before going to bed. I detected that my daughter had placed her legs on mine and I mistook her to be that of my late wife and I defiled her.”
This, according to Yevu, had had happened on two occasions. Yevu, who is charged with defilement and incest pleaded guilty. But just as the court was about to hand down Yevu’s sentence, his brother raised his hands saying he had sometime to say.
Yevu’s brother told the court that Yevu had confided in him that somebody had cast a spell on him and blamed his action on “juju.”
The court presided over by Mrs Justice Georgina Mensah-Datsa however sentenced Yevu to 10 years on each of the charges. The sentences would however run concurrently.
The court told Yevu that it only had power to deal with the charges brought against him adding: “You can pursue the juju case at the juju court.” Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Sarah Acquah told the court that the complainant was the victim’s uncle.
Yevu is the father of the victim. Since the death of the victim’s mother, she had been living with the father at Omanjor in Accra. ASP Acquah said during October 2011, the victim was sleeping when Yevu forced her and had sex with her on two occasions.
After the acts, the victim informed her father that she had not menstruated for the past three months.
ASP Acquah said Yevu knowing very well that the victim was pregnant, gave the victim medicine to swallow and insert some of the medicine into her vagina.
Soon after inserting the medicine, the victim began to complain of abdominal pains and she was rushed to the hospital and a report was made to the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit at the Odorkor Police station.
The victim was issued with a medical form while her father was arrested by the Police and during interrogation he admitted the offence.

Felix Torgbor, the 45-year-old mason who fathered a child with his own daughter.
A 45 year old mason has been arrested in Accra for forcibly having an affair with his daughter and subsequently, having a baby with her.
“You are very stupid! Which is better? Sleeping with my daughter or running after other women who could infect me with strange diseases which I could also pass on to you?”
These are the shocking words of Felix Torgbor, a 45-year-old mason from La, who was caught by his wife having sex with his 19-year-old daughter.
Apparently, Torgbor began having sex with his daughter when she was only 16 years old; broke her virginity and subsequently had a child with her. He is now in the grips of the Odorkor Police in Accra.
Torgbor’s three-year-old sexual affair finally came to an end when his wife caught him red-handed making love to his daughter in an uncompleted building on the dawn of Saturday August 15, at Russia, a suburb of Accra.
Salamatu, Torgbor’s wife, told DAILY GUIDE that she wakes up very early in the morning, goes to work and returns at 7:00pm.
On that fateful day, she returned from visiting her sister at about 10:00pm on Friday night. She called her husband to join her watch an African movie shown on TV, but he declined and kept moving up and down.
She then began wondering what was making her husband so jittery.
According to her, the TV station closed down around 12:00 midnight, so she went to bed.
At about 12:45am, she woke up to realize that her husband and daughter were not in bed so she went out in search of them.
Salamatu indicated that her husband is putting up a building which is just a distance from the family house where they live, so she had a strong urge to go there to search for them.
When she got there, she saw that her step-daughter had laid a piece of cloth on the floor of one of the rooms and she saw a man lying on top of her.
She yelled and held unto the man only to realize it was her husband who was moaning and groaning on top of his own daughter.
Salamatu said she could not believe that this abominable act was going on right under her nose for the past three years.
When she demanded answers from her husband, he called her a stupid woman.
“You are very stupid! Which is better? Sleeping with my daughter or running after other women who could infect me with strange diseases which I could also pass on to you?” he asked, threatening to beat her up if she shouted.
Salamatu says she raised an alarm, drawing people to the scene.
Speaking to DAILY GUIDE, District Crime Officer (DCO), DSP Bafour Appenteng said the affair between father and daughter started somewhere in 2006 when she was dressing after bathing.
Narrating the sequence of events, the DCO said it started when the grandmother of the victim observed that her pubic hair had not been shaved. She questioned the teenager who replied that she was scared the razor blade might harm her.
Her grandmother, thereafter, sent her to buy a razor blade so she could shave the hair off, but by the time she got back, her grandmother was asleep.
On reaching home, her father, who was then eavesdropping on the conversation, asked what she was going to use the razor blade for.
She explained what the grandmother had said.
Torgbor then insisted on shaving his daughter’s pubic hair, in spite of her resistance.
According to the victim, her father laid her on his matrimonial bed and shaved her pubic hair after which he forcibly had sexual intercourse with her.
No amount of pleading could stop Torgbor from carrying out his intentions, and he had sex with her on the blind side of his wife, Salamatu Piaga.
The girl emerged from the room in tears and because her legs were wobbling, her aunties, who lived in the same compound house, asked what was wrong and she revealed to them that her father had just had sex with her.
According to the police, the aunties explained that at the time of the incident, the family was bereaved and so they decided to meet on the matter after the burial of their kin but later forgot all about it, and even though Salamatu was informed about the incident, she chose not to pursue it.
When she quizzed her husband about the incident, he got mad and subjected the child to severe beatings, saying that she wanted to disgrace him.
Later, when the girl turned 17, she got pregnant and left to stay with her biological mother at Osu because her father was furious, claiming his daughter had a boyfriend and subjected her to severe beatings, even though she was pregnant for him at the time.
At Osu, she reported the incident to WAJU but her mother, who did not believe her claims, abandoned the case after receiving a police medical form.
When the teenager gave birth in April last year, her stepmother, Salamatu, went for her from the Ridge Hospital where she delivered a baby girl and brought her back to her father’s house with the intention of caring for her and the baby.
The Crime Officer said when the baby was nine months old, Torgbor, who was eager to re-ignite his sexual relationship with his biological daughter, forced her to stop breast-feeding the baby, which she did.
They continued with the affair until the dawn of Saturday August 15, 2009 when Salamatu grabbed the two seriously making love.
Subsequently, Salamatu packed her belongings out of the house but did not report the matter to the police until her husband was arrested on August 18, 2009, by the Odorkor police who invited her to write her statement.
The victim, who was cuddling her daughter when she spoke to DAILY GUIDE on Thursday, confirmed that the baby, an exact replica of Torgbor, was indeed her father’s daughter.
She told DAILYGUIDE she wishes her father would be kept in jail forever.
Ho, May 13, GNA - Daniel Gadzeti, a carpenter, was sentenced to five years imprisonment by a Ho circuit court on Tuesday for being in an incestuous relationship with his 19-year-old daughter Mabel Gadzeti, a seamstress apprentice.
Mr Frank Owusu Afriyie, the presiding judge, deferred sentence on Mabel Gadzeti until after medical tests for pregnancy and sex related diseases.
Mr Afriyie described the conduct of Gadzeti, a father of four, as "very irresponsible". Deputy Superintendent of Police Kwadwo Nkansah told the court that Gadzeti, who was staying at Nkonya-Ntumda, invited his daughter who was staying with her mother at Nkonya-Tayi to come over and stay with him. He said Gadzeti the n started having sexual intercourse with his daughter. Mr Nkansah said a friend of Gadzeti once visited him and saw him (Gadzeti) and his (Gadzeti's) daughter bathing together and asked him if he was having sexual relationship with her. He said Gadzeti took offence and reported the matter to the chief of Nkonya-Ntumda who summoned the friend before the traditional court which fined him to compensate Gadzeti because the friend had no evidence to support his case. About a year later Gadzeti confessed his incestuous relationship to his uncle, a catechist, and expressed his desire to perform customary rites to marry her and make her his second wife in addition to her mother.
He said Gadzeti's uncle informed the chief of the town and Gadzeti's wife and daughter were summoned before the chief and elders of the town. A fine was imposed on Gadzeti and his daughter which they paid. He said a few days later, information about their relationship got to the police leading to their arrest.Source:

Man Jailed For Impregnating Daughter
An Accra High Court has sentenced Mr Anthony Bleworda to five (5) years imprisonment for having sex with her daughter since she was 16 years old and fathering with her five children, three of whom have since died. Mr Bleworda admitted that he had a strong urge to sleep with his own 16-year-old daughter the first day he saw her after several year’s sojourn abroad.
The daughter, identified as Matilda Bleworda, who is now in her mid twenties, is reported to have later developed mental health problems. Speaking to Peace FM and the Domestic Violence And Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU), Matilda disclosed that she willingly gave in to his father’s sexual advances the first day she saw him because her father enticed her with lots of money, but the subsequent encounters were all against her will. An earlier medical report had revealed that Matilda had indeed developed mental problems. She however stressed to Peace FM in an interview that she has now been completely cured.
She added that she did not know in the beginning that Mr. Bleworda was her real father. She believed instead that her grandfather whom she had known since her infancy was. According to her she asked the father to stop sleeping with her but he refused, claiming she was married to him by virtue of their having children together.
In an interview with Peacefmonline, the spokesperson for DOVVSU, Inspector Irene Oppong confirmed that Mr Bleworda has been sentenced for 5 years imprisonment. In answer to querries about why the seemingly minimal nature of the punishment, Inspector Oppong said the court took into account the girl’s admission that she was 16 years old when her father first slept with her and also that she consented to the act for which reason he couldn’t be charged with rape.
She explained that the stipulated sentencing range for incest for which Mr. Bleworda was found guilty is between 3 to 25 years. She explained that it took the court this long to dispose of the case because the man was having health issues midway into his prosecution. Peace FM managed to secure a major scoop and broke the scandal to a horrified country in September of last year.

Yevu told the court that somebody had cast a spell on him because he was getting more customers in his carpentry business.
When the court asked why he defiled his daughter, Yevu said: “My Lord the thing came on me in a spiritual form. I sometimes dream that I am sleeping with my late wife. I took in some alcohol on the day in question before going to bed. I detected that my daughter had placed her legs on mine and I mistook her to be that of my late wife and I defiled her.”
This, according to Yevu, had had happened on two occasions. Yevu, who is charged with defilement and incest pleaded guilty. But just as the court was about to hand down Yevu’s sentence, his brother raised his hands saying he had sometime to say.
Yevu’s brother told the court that Yevu had confided in him that somebody had cast a spell on him and blamed his action on “juju.”
The court presided over by Mrs Justice Georgina Mensah-Datsa however sentenced Yevu to 10 years on each of the charges. The sentences would however run concurrently.
The court told Yevu that it only had power to deal with the charges brought against him adding: “You can pursue the juju case at the juju court.” Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Sarah Acquah told the court that the complainant was the victim’s uncle.
Yevu is the father of the victim. Since the death of the victim’s mother, she had been living with the father at Omanjor in Accra. ASP Acquah said during October 2011, the victim was sleeping when Yevu forced her and had sex with her on two occasions.
After the acts, the victim informed her father that she had not menstruated for the past three months.
ASP Acquah said Yevu knowing very well that the victim was pregnant, gave the victim medicine to swallow and insert some of the medicine into her vagina.
Soon after inserting the medicine, the victim began to complain of abdominal pains and she was rushed to the hospital and a report was made to the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit at the Odorkor Police station.
The victim was issued with a medical form while her father was arrested by the Police and during interrogation he admitted the offence.

A 47-year-old farmer who fathered five children with his biological daughter is in the grips of the law.
Yao Hatekah impregnated his daughter, known as Baby, when she was 11 years old and subsequently had children aged 14, 12, 3, 2 and a month-and-a-half-old with her.
Hatekah, who pleaded guilty to the charge of incest on June 20, 2012, changed his plea to not guilty when he reappeared before the Sogakope Circuit Court Wednesday.
According to him, he had one child with his daughter and was not responsible for her other children.
The court, subsequently, remanded him to reappear on July 12, 2012.
Prosecuting, Inspector Emmanuel Atsor of the Sogakope Police told the court that Hatekah began having an affair with his daughter after his wife died.
His alleged incestuous act was brought to the attention of the police by the Chief of Gonu Ashiagborkorpe, near Dabala in the South Tongu District in the Volta Region, TorgbeSekpetey II.
It said the residents of the community had known of Hatekah’s incestuous act all these years but were afraid of him because of his threat to kill anybody who dared to criticise him.**

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 you add the vast landed property of GT at prime locations you can see Kuffuor sold cheap. Perhaps he did not appreciate all the issues that's why he may be congratulating himself.

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 GT Board of Director at that time. NANA ANTWI BOASIAKO CHIEF OF SEKYEDUMASI was the Board Chairman. Dickson Oduro Nyaning was the CEO. Joseph Owusu Ansah was the AG chief Financial Officer. (ALL ASHANTIS). These officers were deliberately placed there to facilitate fraudulent activities, share the booty before the sale.
Go on the Internet and GOOGLE 'Ministerial Committee Report on sale of GT to Vodafone'
Kufour knew the people who caused the $ 400 million debt mostly been loans procured by the aforementioned GT officers and distributed amongst themselves including people from KUFOUR OFFICE.

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 who were just a drag on GT resources. If Kuffour had decided to restructure GT by laying off the 4000 workers most of them Ewes due to Rawlings tribalistic hiring policies, he would have been attacked like Busiah in the famous Salah debacle.
I wonder why you Ewes are not talking about Rawlings 30 percent $45 million sale of GT DONKOMI GIVEAWAY.

CARDINAL, who told you that I am an NDC. You see how stupid people like you make conclusions. Every well meaning Ghanaian who make sensible argument is either an NPP or NDC depending on the party the person belongs to.Please refute the issues raised by me.
1. Was DR BAWUMIAH not a Board Member OF GHANA TELECOM THAT TIME? Please check.
2. Was the BOARD CHAIRMAN NOT NANA ANTWI BOASIAKO, CHIEF OF SEKYEDUMASI in the Ashanti Region? Please check.
3. Was Dickson ODURO NYANING NOT THE CEO at that time also an ASHANTI FROM BONWIRE? Please check.
4. Was JOSEPH OWUSU ANSAH not the AG. CFO also an ASHANTI?. Please check.
5. Have you gone on the Internet to obtain the MINISTERIAL REPORT ON THE SALE OF GT to VODAFONE? Go through the bulky attachments and see the evidence regarding the fraudulent activities.
CARDINAL, I do not know your social standing in Ghana, but I believe that you are one of those people the Politicials and other people in authority are using to enrich themselves and in the end impoverish the poor.

You bigoted idiot, what has these Asantes got to do with a Telecom company that was given to Telecom Malay to manage in 2000 by Rawlings that was badly managed.
Ofui, you have Mahama, an Ndc now ruling Ghana with NDC majority in Parliament, if the Parliamentary report has unnerved any evidence of malfeasance, what is this government waiting for? Is it not the responsibility of this government to prosecute all corrupt transactions?
Ofui, who inserted the indemnity clause in the constitution to protect certain officials from prosecution for their corrupt activities? Was it not the trokosi Ewe loudmouth Rawlings?
Get this in your head, the only job I DID IN Ghana MORE THAN 30 YEARS AGO WAS WORKING AT MY FAMILY HOTEL. I have never taken a dime or been sponsored by any government ahgency. My scholarship to USA in 1984 was not through the government of Ghana but was offered to me by the American University.
I just don't know why some of you fools are still supporting government operated industries when countries like Russia, China, and other socialist countries have abandoned that economic foolishness and are now supporting private operated companies for economic advancement.
Only in Africa and for that matter Ghana that you still see fools agitating for government to operate Airlines, Telecoms and other industries.
Tell me one government industry in Ghana that is profitable. NONSENSE TO THE 9TH POWER.
