'Scam' Kelni/GVG Deal Is Against The Philosophy of NPP - Franklin Cudjoe's Goodwill Message To NPP

The President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe has sent a goodwill message to the NPP as they elect new national officers.

According to him the NPP is better than the KelniGVG deal as such should distance itself from it before it sinks their image.

"Kelni GVG is against the philosophy of the NPP. Your theme for the congress is consolidating gains to bring prosperity to Ghanaians. Sorry, KelniGVG will not bring prosperity to millions of Ghanaians," he said in a statement.

He said it is one huge scam and the NPP of old is not known for endorsing scams.

"You are better than KELNIGVG. Run away from it else it will sink your image. KelniGVG is against the philosophy of the NPP. Your theme for the congress is consolidating gains to bring prosperity to Ghanaians. Sorry, KelniGVG will not bring prosperity to millions of Ghanaians. It is one huge scam and the NPP of old is not known for endorsing scams. I pray the current NPP upholds this virtue. I wish you well," Franklin Cudjoe.

Background

Franklin Cudjoe had urged the government not to hesitate in abrogating the $89 million contract between Ghana and GVG/Kelni.

IMANI had earlier petitioned the Vice President to revoke the contract for the design, development and implementation of a common platform for traffic monitoring, revenue assurance and mobile money monitoring.

Already, the contract upon signing stipulates that a payment of about $1.5 million to be paid monthly for a five-year period.

But Mr Cudjoe maintains that companies like Subah Infosolutions and Afriwave Telcom Ltd have already carried out the functions expected of the new firm.

IMANI goofed on $89 million deal 

But the government has rejected such claims saying the agreement is in the best interest of the country.

Deputy Communications Minister, George Andah, had urged Franklin Cudjoe to admit that his Think Tank goofed in its scathing assessment of the $89 million contract.
