SUBAH vs. TELECOS

The Alliance for Accountable Governance is worried about the continuous involvement of particular Ghanaian business and their owner in everyday issue that bothers on corruption. Be it as it may, it is obviously clear that government is simply bereft with what to do, and how to go about this epidemic of crass corruption engulfing this country.

Mr. President is about time you stop honey mooning with words, and come to terms with deeds. Indeed, the current issues surrounding SUBAH Info Solutions is one a kind that the whole society is interested in who caused what, where, how and when. AFAG will not hold brief for SUBAH info solutions but it is also evident that, the telecommunication agencies are not to be glorified with their overt interest in profit making and continuous repatriation of hard earned foreign currencies abroad. Where other businesses have been involved in issues which are unclear to AFAG, we have stood by the interest of the masses in calling for investigations. Ghanaians should have true value for our money and every pesewas must be accounted for irrespective of who collude and connive with who to cause the mess.

Mr. President, many businesses have suffered and continue to suffer from the hands of persons who chose to provide selective social advocacy and justice. Fair or not, the society has not been helped by the indecision on the part of the President in cracking the whip, and or laying bare the issues for Ghanaians to fathom. Therefore the question arises, how long shall businesses receive genuine or unfair bashing from persons eager to see justice or playing the ostrich?

AFAG in 2010 broke the news on the installation of devices at the National Communication Authority (NCA) and telecos operating sites by the Global Voices Group (GVG)to monitor the international gateway project. We are very keen on the issues raised against SUBAH info solutions.

AFAG is expectant of government to conduct and make public its findings on this SUBAH Info payments. Failure, we will lay bare to the public what is up our sleeves.Sanity must prevail in the telecommunication industry.

God bless Ghana.
