I was saying the exact same thing to someone yesterday...

[Gary Al-Smith @garyalsmith]

Been combing the crevices of my mind and I cannot remember anybody I know ever saying 'oobakɛ' as welcome in my entire life, or in any written text I saw growing up. And I'm as Ga as they come.

Guess we learn everyday. Oobakɛ to my TedTalk!

Dear Greater Accra Regional Minister and the Minister for Roads,

Whenever it rains, the Achimota-Ofankor road gets flooded, regardless of the amount of rain.

As is the case in many parts of the capital city, the drains are clogged, so the water has to find its way on the surface of the ground.

A little over two weeks ago, I started frequenting this road and realised that some people were desilting the choked drains. The worrying part of their work, however, is that the debris has not been collected. On Tuesday, I parked my vehicle to take this video.

With any heavy rain, the debris of sand and plastic will go back to fill the drains, and the work done will have been a waste.

Please take note and have this cleared.

Thank you.

Fellow Ghanaians, we must deal really well with this shameful spectacle of unearned doctorates and professors parading all over. If you want a PhD, do the hard work and earn one.

1. Reading through my earlier post on Ghana's Communications Minister's fiat to Multichoice to cut its DSTV prices by 30% by August 7th, I see that I omitted an important insight.

2. Multichoice Ghana's DSTV product is licensed as a subscription management service. The product is legally owned by Multichoice Africa Holdings and delivered via license in Ghana by Multichoice Ghana, as a local operating subsidiary. The subsidiary is a joint venture with the Darko family.

3. DSTV is not operated in the same license category as other PayTV offerings in Ghana. It is in a class all by its own.

4. In other African markets, like Malawi, where similar disputes have come up, the courts have applied a simple test, which seems to incapacitate regulators from forcing a downward price review.

5.
A. The first test is whether tariffs in the PayTV industry are regulated. Is there any regulatory involvement by law in tariff-setting? In most countries, there is no PURC-style involvement in tariff reviews.

B. The second test is whether the local licensee, in this case Multichoice Ghana, has any power to fix their own tariffs or if they only have a pass-through mandate. In Malawi, it was decided that the way the license had been set up, the regulator was fully aware that local adjustment of the tariff was not allowed. The local subsidiary simply resold at the price set by Multichoice Africa Holdings.

C. I notice that in Ghana the Minister had to involve Multichoice Group once he realised that the local subsidiary did not have sufficient pricing discretion.

D. Looked at this way, the situation is somewhat closer to, say, Facebook's advertising rates in Ghana than it is closer to, say, Telecel's rates in that pricing is based on a pass-through model. Except, of course, we don't require Facebook to acquire a license to operate in Ghana.

It would be interesting to understand how these tests would apply in the Ghanaian context should the matter end up before the tribunal or the High Court.

@yaw_minty We sign many players, your team gets some to take on loan, no?

[Nana Adjei @KA_Mantey]

@_elvis_simons @kpalooka Actually, they ask for the driver's permission first. Overtly; so it's not even like the consent is indirect.
