IMANI Africa President Franklin Cudjoe wants the $179 million KelniGVG contract thrown out right away. He claims the 2018 telecom monitoring deal lacks transparency and wastes money. The IMANI boss posted on Facebook that KelniGVG hasn't produced any reports since signing the agreement. He pointed out that Ghana pays $1.5 million every month, adding up to $18 million yearly with nothing to show for it.
Cudjoe asked the Operation Recover All Loots committee to question the former Communications Minister about wasting $179 million on what he called a "scam system" plus leaving behind almost $200 million in debt from managing AirtelTigo after buying it for just one dollar. Communications Minister Samuel Nartey George already announced the government won't extend the KelniGVG contract. He made this clear at an Accra press conference as part of plans to reshape Ghana's digital oversight systems for better value. The contract started in 2018 to track call traffic and ensure proper revenue reporting from telecom companies. Critics have attacked the deal since it began, claiming it duplicates work and wastes public funds.
