Atta Mills to join protest against
GT sale
Accra, Aug. 11, Ghanadot/GNA - NDC
leader and presidential candidate, Professor John Evans Atta
Mills, will join the Committee for Joint Action, Concerned
Ghanaians, and other progressive groups that will be
protesting at the forecourt of Parliament House on Tuesday
in the matter of the sale of 70 per cent sale of Ghana
Telecom (GT) to Vodafone.
The NDC leader is therefore urging all NDC members as well
as well-meaning Ghanaians to be part of the protest to
implore our lawmakers, who are the representatives of the
people, not to support the NPP government in its desperate
bid to sell GT.
This is contained in a statement signed by Mr. Koku Anyidoho,
Head of Communications of the Mills Campaign.
“Professor Atta Mills wishes to put it on record that, if
the NPP muscles its way through and sells-off GT under terms
that don’t sit well with the norms of openness and
transparency, as President, he shall ensure that the sale is
reversed and persons found culpable of short-changing
Ghanaians, shall face the full rigours of the law.”
Parliament is reconvening on Tuesday to debate the sale and
vote on the agreement that has been criticised for its lack
of transparency and package.
