Ablakwa says unlike the NPP, they consulted various stakeholders on the move before the men were brought into the country. Speaking on Eyewitness News, Mr. Ablakwa refuted these claims, insisting that unlike this current deal, the previous government consulted key stakeholders, including political party leaders before sealing the Gitmo two agreement. “I want to place on record that when we began negotiations with the Americans on accepting the Gitmo two deal, there were broad consultations. They will also be allowed to set up a telecommunication system on Ghana’s radio spectrum for free. We have seen how our radio spectrum is handed over free of charge at a time when Ghanaian companies are being hounded, people have lost their licenses and those who have defaulted have been fined heavily and yet the wealthiest nation is not to pay anything for our radio spectrum.
