Felix Kwakye Ofosu said the Lightweave controversy is rooted in contract breaches and financial discrepancies, not politics or grudges.
He explained, “Lightweave was supposed to connect hundreds of health facilities within three years. They did not meet the deadline, even after two extensions.”
He argued that this alone freed the government to seek alternative solutions.
He went further to say, “An audit revealed shortfalls in hardware, software and services worth nearly nineteen million dollars.
“On top of that, the state paid ten million dollars more than the value of work done.”
According to him, the evidence points to losses the state cannot ignore.
“This is about procurement standards and value for money,” he stressed on Metro TV monitored by MyNewsGh.
“It is not about who handed over to who or which administration signed what. It is about ensuring Ghana does not lose public funds because somebody failed to fulfil a contract.”
