Martin Amidu a former Attorney General has said he stop former President John Mahama from selling Graphic Corporation.
The then deputy minister of communication John Mahama under the late former president Jerry John Rawlings had decided to sell off Graphic Corporation.
He said, “My attention was drawn to him when he almost privatized the Graphic Corporation and I had to write a very strong memorandum calling the Government’s attention to the fact that if we commercialized and privatized all the State Owned Media Houses as he had championed the letter and spirit of provisions of the Constitution on State Owned Media and their role under the Constitution will be rendered nugatory,”
According to him, the proposed sale drew his attention to the presence of Mr. Mahama in the NDC government for the first time.
Graphic Communications Group Ltd (GCGL) was established in the Gold Coast as a private business in 1950 by the Daily Mirror Group of Britain. At that time, the company was named the West African Graphic Company Limited.
