What an interesting Monday, June 9 2010 http://www.ghanaweb.com/ news web-page story by Livingstone Pay Charlie. Perhaps the question discerning Ghanaians ought to ask about this outrageous story is: What precisely are the geniuses who now rule Ghana doing about such wanton profligacy at Vodafone? Why do the powers that be not insist that the company purchases vehicles for its over-pampered expatriate staff – as well as buys houses at Cantonments or La Wireless for them: so that the company saves the huge sums currently being expended on renting vehicles and paying for serviced-apartments and hotel rooms: just to enrich a few politically well-connected individuals associated with our corrupt previous rulers?
What, dear reader, do our present rulers also have to say about that egregious example of financial-engineering-skullduggery, which the lease-back arrangement structured for the disposal of the masts of Vodafone represents? Is this financial equivalent of a sleight of hand not another crooked deal by foreign carpetbaggers, made possible by insider-dealing at Vodafone – and which puts money into corrupt private pockets at Ghana’s expense, yet again? If those in government who told the world they were going to “re-engage” Vodafone do not want to be accused of being spineless leaders, then they had better ensure that regular audits are carried out at short intervals (by the Auditor-General) – to protect Ghana’s hapless taxpayers from another bunch of rapacious foreigners: brought into this country by foolish and short-sighted politicians to rip our country off in another “chop-Ghana-small” privatization deal. Hmmm, Ghana – eyeasem oo: Enti yewieye paa enie? Asem ebaba debi ankasa!
Tel (powered by Tigo – the one mobile phone network in Ghana that actually works): + 233 (0) 27 745 3109 & the not-so-hot and clueless Vodafone wireless smartfone: + 233 (0) 30 2976238.
