Criminal Monopoly Enforcement Restricts Competition

This provision enforces Ghana Post's monopoly over reserved services (Section 22) through criminal imprisonment up to 3 years rather than administrative remedies, exceeding typical OECD regulatory approaches where market-entry violations are handled through civil penalties and license denial. The provision contains a critical drafting defect with the minimum imprisonment term left blank ("not less than ………."), violating legal certainty principles—businesses cannot know the actual criminal consequences of their conduct. This criminal enforcement approach creates severe barriers to market entry and competition in reserved service areas.
