NPP challenges Sam George’s rural telephony claims, demands full project status report

The Committee is demanding a full status report on the Ghana Rural Telephony and Digital Inclusion Project, including the number of sites constructed, connected, and operational.

The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Policy Committee on Communications and Digitalization has challenged Communications Minister Sam George’s characterization of the previous administration’s record on rural telephony.“Per the information available to this Committee, no new rural telephony site was constructed in 2025, even though equipment for approximately 400 sites were handed over,” it said.
