Former President Kufuor

Kufuor, Vodafone case declared null and void
The case involving the sale of Ghana Telecom to
Vodafone was declared null and void in court on
Thursday.

It will be recalled that some six CPP members
including Bright Akwetey, took the government to
court over the sale the telecom company.

The plaintiffs — Professor Agyeman Badu Akosa, Mr
Kosi Dedey, Naa Kordai Assimeh, Dr Nii Moi
Thompson, Mr Kwame Jantuah and Ms Rhodaline Imoru
Ayarna — instituted a civil action in 2008 against
the government over the sale of its 70 per cent
shares in Ghana Telecom (GT) to the UK telecom
operator, Vodafone.

In the dock for cross examination, the then
Executive Secretary of the Divestiture
Implementation Committee (DIC) Mr. Gambilla
claimed that, although DIC usually oversees such
transactions, they knew nothing about this one
until it was over.

According to him, they were called upon after the
sale by the presidency to have a meeting and
regularize the transaction.
