Ghana: Parliament goes on recess without ratifying Vodafone deal

Parliament on Friday went on recess without the ratification of the Sale and Purchase Agreement signed by the government to sell 70 per cent stakes in Ghana Telecom (GT) to Vodafone International Holdings BV.
The report of the joint Finance and Communication committee which considered the 900 million-dollar deal was not ready to be laid when the Speaker called for it.

Speaking to the Ghana News Agency, Mr. Paul Okoh, Chairman of the Committee on Employment, Social and State Enterprises, said the deferment did not mean that the House had thrown off discussions on the deal.
