The attention of Rlg Communications has been drawn to media publications about a contract between the Ministry of Communications (MOC) and RLG Communications Ltd and wishes to respond as follows:
1. The assertion that the outgoing government was “. colluding with RLG Communications to dupe the state …” in the said contract is mischievous and unprofessional on the part of the persons behind the publication and the company takes strong exception to this statement.
2. The company went through the vigorous bidding process and is convinced it won it genuinely based on many factors including track record, having executed similar project for the Nigerian government.
3. The company, having executed different projects for different governments in Ghana since the first NPP regime sees the latest contract as a fresh start to support a new government desirous of scaling up the country’s development using the private sector and to also create jobs for a teaming unemployed youth. The project is intended to generate some 5,000 direct and indirect jobs for skilled youth.
4. The project will require the company to create mini factories in some parts of the country to produce the set-up boxes, an agenda which sits squarely in the one district, one factory initiative of the new government.
5. On the issue of advance payment, we did not think it was illegal to make a request for it, subject to the necessary scrutiny, due diligence and approval by the institution granting the contract. In any case, no money has been paid at the time of this statement. We are a law-abiding company and therefore wishes to assure the public that we will not engage in anything fraudulent or illegal.

We first wanna know/see the one-laptop-per child in each horse hold cos that's what it means. Maybe most Ghanaians hv forgotten, Bill Gates gave mr. Aganbire $100m to boast one-laptop-per child in addition to all Ghana gave him for that project. It seems we forget so much.
t-h-i-e-v-e-s!
WHERE IS YOUR SO-CALLED ULTRA MODERN MILLENNIUM CITY WITH THE STATE OF THE ART AIRPORT YOU BOASTED TO THE WHOLE WORLD FEW YEARS AGO IN ACCRA? ARE YOU STILL GOING TO BUILD THE AIRPORT AND THE CITY? YOU ARE ALL CORRUPT AND JUST WANTED A PIE OF TAXPAYERS MONEY.
This is their mode of operation. S t e a l i n g will not depart from them. Why will you rush this contract at the eleventh hour if you have a love for mother Ghana. NDC and Mahama, even in dead you are still robbing Ghanaians. You are walking around pretending to be humble after loosing the election but still not forgetting your corrupt ways.
WONDERFUL NO NAME EVEN LAST HOUR STILL LIE
why should government pay such a huge amount for such,who benefits.let them use their own money,we worked rlg they have not paid us,their offices are down. regretably
if it's a clean legal contract we will support you but it happened to be a shady one like your past contracts then we will deal with RLG.
Pathetic. Simply pathetic
