…..For incompetence in the telecom industry -Wereko-Brobby
The Crusading Guide in its top story reports that the Minister of Communications, Mr john Mahama, has been called upon to take immediate and urgent steps to terminate the contract of the entire management of Ghana Telecom – which is made up of Malaysians – at the earliest possible opportunity.
The paper says that Dr Charles Wereko-Brobby, who made the request in a letter addressed to the Minister, said the Malaysians had displayed “absolute incompetence”. Dr Wereko-Brobby, presidential candidate of the United Ghana Movement (UGM), is quoted as noting, “with the singular exception of collecting our money, which it has discharged with ruthless and greedy efficiency, Ghana Telecom’s services have gone progressively downhill since it was placed under new management”.
He added that, “none of the ills that was associated with the old organisation has been cured”. The Crusading Guide says that Dr Wereko-Brobby made reference to the shutting down of the whole of the Cantonments Exchange (serving the “77 and “76 numbers inn Accra) for about a week towards the end of the year.
“And not just any ordinary week, but the week of the onset of the new millennium, when literally millions of Ghanaians wanted to exchange greetings and good wishes with their families and friends here and in the diaspora”, he is reported as saying.
