Well, yesterday was Republic Day and, as such, it was a holiday. It was odd coming to work on a Monday only to rest on Tuesday and get back today--but, hell, better than none at all!;-)
Back to the State of the payphones...well, they still exist in the country--like this one by the state-owned Ghana Telecom. It's a delicious irony I should be using this picture, for just today, heard that the British-based Vodafone has just bought 66.67% of Ghana Telecom(GT) for some $960million.
Results are what matters, so let's see what they will bring, though I cannot understand why Ghanaian polcy-makers have to consistently divest state-owned enterprises to attract investment. We've had horror stories from the Malaysians and Norwegians who did a bad job and left us. We're now going to the British...
Time will tell...
