Minister for Communications to come and respond to this house whether it is true that Vodafone, a $1 billion asset of the Republic of Ghana, has been sold on credit for less than a $100 million and what the state of that transaction is, as an economic transaction within the meaning of Article 185 of the 1992 Constitution. And probably to also update this house on the whittling away of Ghana\u2019s telecom landscape and its strength. Minister for Agric you know I don\u2019t speculate, I\u2019m above speculation,\u201d the\u00a0Member of Parliament for Tamale South said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><sub>Source: Citi Newsroom<\/sub><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230613-WA0094.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-562\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;width:117px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230613-WA0094.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230613-WA0094-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230613-WA0094-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><sub>Dmedia News (Domajuosu Multimedia)<\/sub><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Member of Parliament for Tamale South, Haruna Iddrisu, is demanding answers from the government<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1088,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1087","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/download-30.jpg",284,178,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/download-30-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/download-30.jpg",284,178,false],"medium_large":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/download-30.jpg",284,178,false],"large":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/download-30.jpg",284,178,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/download-30.jpg",284,178,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/download-30.jpg",284,178,false],"shareaholic-thumbnail":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/download-30.jpg",284,178,false],"chromenews-featured":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/download-30.jpg",284,178,false],"chromenews-large":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/download-30.jpg",284,178,false],"chromenews-medium":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/download-30.jpg",284,178,false]},"author_info":{"info":["Babia Mubaric"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/category\/news\/\" rel=\"category tag\">General News<\/a>","tag_info":"General News","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1087"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1087\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1089,"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1087\/revisions\/1089"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
