NPP challenges Sam George’s rural telephony claims, demands full project status report
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. 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. In a statement issued on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, and signed by its Chairman, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the Committee said the record did not support claims of neglect.
