President of policy think tank IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, has taunted former Communications minister, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful over the KelniGVG contract.
He is questioning her about the money the state has spent on KelniGVG for no work done over the years.
Franklin Cudjoe has urged the current minister to cancel the contract, which he says has not been of any value to the country.
He believes that all monies paid to KelniGVG should be retrieved from the former Communications minister, arguing that she was warned about the consequences but dismissed the concerns of industry experts who opposed the contract.
“Ursula Owusu, where is our $179 million? Sam George, cancel the $179m KelniGVG heist,” he said in a post shared on social media.
About the KelniGvG deal
The KelniGVG deal, valued at $89 million, was heavily criticised when it was announced because of its similarity with controversial agreements the state entered into with Subah Infosolutions and Afriwave Telcom Ltd in 2010 and 2016 respectively.
The deal faced multiple lawsuits amid allegations of corruption and underhand dealings in the award of the revenue assurance monitoring contract to KelniGVG.
A lot of the criticism of the deal came from think tank IMANI Africa which also raised privacy concerns while questioning the credibility of KelniGVG.
