Ursula Owusu-Ekuful<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Communications Minister Ursula Ekuful Owusu is being accused of speaking so vociferously on behalf of the Chinese government than she is doing for Ghana her motherland.<\/p>\n

Mrs Ursula Owusu-Ekuful in a statement said the public is confusing issues on the digital infrastructure and its satellite programme to extend digital TV to 300 communities which Startimes is actually running.<\/p>\n

The minister said she will work with various industry stakeholders to ensure a cost-effective digital infrastructure is built, even ad the minority in parliament and other stakeholders are against the deal.<\/p>\n

Her assurance comes after her deputy George Andah had said an agreement with StarTimes is a condition for Ghana to secure a $19 billion loan from the China EXIM bank.<\/p>\n

Mr Andah said, \u201cwe did not intend to sign any such contract, [and] we will not sign any such contract.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Wireko Brobbey, a controversial member of the ruling party said he thinks Mrs Owusu-Ekuful is being more Chinese on the deal than Ghanaian.<\/p>\n
