Minority raises red flags over Telecel takeover of AT Ghana, demands immediate halt

0

The Minority in Parliament has expressed serious concern over the proposed takeover of AT Ghana (formerly AirtelTigo) by Telecel Group, describing the transaction as “lacking transparency” and “questionable in intent.”

At a press briefing on Wednesday, October 15, the Ranking Member of Parliament’s Communications Committee, Matthew Nyindam, accused the Minister of Communications and Digitalisation, Samuel George, of managing the deal “in secrecy and with conflicting interests.”

According to Mr Nyindam, the government allegedly turned down a $150 million investment proposal from Rektron/Afritel in favour of a deal with Telecel that offers significantly less value. He warned that this decision could jeopardise Ghana’s only fully state-owned telecommunications company.

Africa’s top billionaires have built their wealth through innovation, grit, and bold business moves, transforming their respective industries. From manufacturing and mining to telecommunications and consumer goods, these titans are shaping the economic landscape of Africa and beyond. Let’s explore their sectors, lifestyles, and journeys to success, highlighting not just their financial worth but also their impact on the continent.

Mr Nyindam said:

The management of this transaction lacks transparency and direction. It is riddled with inconsistencies and self-interest, and risks handing over a vital national asset to a private foreign entity without proper accountability.

He further claimed that Rektron’s proposal included more than the initial $150 million capital injection, outlining a broader long-term investment commitment of up to $1 billion to modernise AT’s infrastructure, expand its network, and enhance 4G and 5G capacity over five years.

“How do you reject a $150 million investment plan with a billion-dollar expansion proposal for a deal that brings only $50 million?” Mr Nyindam questioned.

The Minority also accused the Minister of causing financial losses to AT Ghana through mismanagement and failure to fulfil contractual obligations.

We have established that the Minister of Communications and Digitalisation failed to honour a $5 million payment obligation to the American Tower Company (ATC), a key service provider to AT.

Mr Nyindam alleged that as a result of the non-payment, several tower sites were shut down in September, forcing AT customers to roam on Telecel’s network and causing an estimated GH¢7 million revenue loss within that month.

He further criticised the Minister for allegedly backtracking on commitments made to AT staff and management regarding investment partnerships. He asserted:

After announcing a deal with Rektron/Afritel and appointing KPMG as transaction advisors, the Minister suddenly switched to a merger plan with Telecel without consultation or justification. Why announce a merger publicly, only to withdraw it later? The secrecy surrounding this deal raises serious questions about what is being concealed.

The Minority has therefore called for:

  • An immediate suspension of the ongoing restructuring or consolidation process.

  • A comprehensive parliamentary inquiry into the circumstances of the transaction.

  • Full disclosure of all related agreements, correspondence, and advisory reports.

  • Release of transactional advice, including recommendations from AFROTEX/Rektron on the “highest and best use” of AT Ghana;

  • A thorough financial assessment of AT Ghana to determine its debt levels and resolve the impasse that led to service disruptions.

FIDA Africa President raises alarm over galamsey’s impact on girls’ health and education

0

The Africa President of the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA), Afua Eyeson Laoye, has expressed deep concern over the devastating effects of illegal mining (galamsey) on the health, education, and fundamental rights of girls in affected communities.

Her comments follow the airing of the latest Joy News documentary under its Dear Mahama anti-galamsey campaign, which exposed the plight of schoolgirls in Kwesitwikrom who are forced to use contaminated pond water during menstruation because their water sources have been polluted by illegal mining.

“For the girl child, it’s even more troubling because they have to deal with this while in school. And we know that in these areas, they are already handicapped with very few resources… I don’t think it’s fair for the girl child in those communities to be going through this,”
she said.

Afua Eyeson Laoye warned that the situation extends far beyond immediate health risks, cautioning that prolonged exposure to toxic chemicals could have long-term effects on fertility and overall population health if urgent action is not taken.

“Only God knows how this is going to affect our ability in the next few years. Fertility issues will automatically affect population issues,” she noted, urging the Ghana Health Service and the Ministry of Health to implement a clear national response plan.

She likened the ongoing water contamination crisis to the COVID-19 pandemic, arguing that it demands an even more urgent and coordinated national strategy.

“We are in a crisis situation. Just as during COVID we had direction on how to go about things, I think this is even more critical. Even the bottled and sachet water we drink in Accra is reportedly contaminated,”
she added.

Laoye also reminded government of its constitutional responsibility to guarantee access to clean and safe water, describing it as a fundamental human right that is currently being denied to many.

“Girls have a right to safe menstrual hygiene, and safe water is a key part of that. We are calling on the government and state agencies to give us clear direction and immediate action,”
she emphasised.

The Dear Mahama campaign by Joy News continues to uncover the widespread environmental and social consequences of illegal mining across Ghana — from polluted rivers and destroyed farmlands to severe public health risks that disproportionately affect women and children.
