Minister for Communications and Digitisation, Mrs Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has announced that the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC) is considering communities in the Ketu South Constituency in the next phases of the Ghana Rural Telephony and Digital Inclusion Project to help improve their network challenges.

She said this on the floor of Parliament in response to a question by Madam Abla Dzifa Gomashie, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ketu South on steps the Ministry was taking to solve the challenges in the communication networks in the Ketu South Constituency.

Mrs Owusu-Ekuful, however, reiterated that the commencement of the Ghana Rural Telephony and Digital Inclusion Project in that area would depend on the availability of funds.

She informed the House that MTN Ghana had connectivity in Klikor, Agbozume and the Diamond Cement Area of the Ketu South Constituency.

She noted that AirtelTigo had six operational sites in Ketu South, three of which were located at Aflao, with the remaining three at Agbozume, Avoeme and Denu.

She stated that all six sites received both 2G and 3G coverage telecommunication networks.

“Mr Speaker, finances permitting, the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications will consider other communities in the Ketu South Constituency in upcoming phases of the Ghana Rural Telephony and Digital Inclusion Project to help improve their network challenges,” she stated.

In response to another on how connectivity in Aflao could be improved to avoid data problems and the ability to make calls, the Minister stated that the Ministry is partnering with network providers to improve the network challenges in the area.

For further clarification, Madam Gomashie questioned how connectivity at Aflao could be improved to avoid data problems and the ability to make calls.

“I do know that Aflao is a very big border community and the economic activity there is vibrant, so we will work with the network operators to see what they can do to extend connectivity there.

“Aflao alone is like a big constituency. It has about 83 branches, now increased to hundred and over, so one mask is not enough to serve the people,” she explained.

Richard Aniagyei, ISD
