Indexing government scandals one at a time
The Minority in Parliament has expressed serious concerns about the government’s decision to award a 5G licensing contract to NextGen InfraCo, a company established just a week prior to the contract’s approval.
According to the Minority, the deal lacks transparency and does not serve the country's best interests. In a press statement issued and signed by the Minority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, the NDC MPs pledged to oppose the deal.
"The regulatory framework and operational modalities and guidelines for this opaque arrangement have not been clearly defined by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government, which appears to be in an indecent haste to give away the country’s 5G spectrum for a pittance," an excerpt of their statement said.
Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni was the first to raise alarm about the deal.
