| Nii Moi Thompson: The truth is gradually emerging on the Vodafone scam |
In the end, the truth always triumphs. And it will in this messy Vodafone-GT affair. In fact, it is already emerging.
When three weeks ago, based on access to a confidential copy of the sale and purchase agreement, I publicly questioned the wisdom and integrity of the government’s decision to sell to Vodafone 70.0% of what it calls “an enlarged Ghana Telecom group” (made up of GT and 3 fibre optic national assets), I was subjected to all manner of attacks and even ridicule from people who should know better.

| NPP statement on running mate |
STATEMENT BY NPP CAMPAIGN ON MEDIA SPECULATION REGARDING THE SELECTION OF HIS RUNNING-MATE
The attention of the 2008 NPP Presidential Candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, MP, has been drawn to media speculation regarding the selection of his running-mate. While such speculation has gone on for some time, the publication on the front page of “THE STATESMAN" of Wednesday, 30th July, 2008, gave the impression that the issue had been settled in favour of one of the candidates. That is not the case. The Candidate also wishes to state emphatically that no particular newspaper speaks for him.
The process for the choice of running-mate has involved more extensive consultations than perhaps any other such exercise in our party's history.

| Nkansah Replies Obetsebi-Lamptey |
It seems as if the NPP government or least certain people in the NPP are never happy unless they do something sinister and mischievous to provoke people and stir up needless controversy.
