Hundreds inhabitants of Ghana have recently came out on the area near the parliament of the country in Akkra. The reason of demonstration is unusual - citizens protest against the plan of selling the Ghana Telecom Company to the British operator Vodafone.

Vodafone has offered to pay $900 million for 70 % of shares in the company, however, as the opposition members consider, the telecommunication active of the company is underestimated.

Ghana, a state in the Western Africa, due to a plenty of minerals and a quite liberal economic trend, remains a developed enough state with a GDP per capita approximately at the level of Mongolia.

Simultaneously with the protests against Vodafone’s expansion, the Ghana Telecom employees have organized their own march - to support the sale plan.

Level of mobile communication penetration in Ghana - 33 %.
