Communications Minister Moves to Address High Internet Costs

Ghana’s Minister of Communications, Samuel Nartey George, has unveiled plans to establish an inter-ministerial committee aimed at scrutinizing and addressing the elevated cost of data in the country. The initiative forms part of a broader agenda to enhance the affordability and accessibility of internet services nationwide.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, February 8, the minister disclosed that the Communications Ministry’s management had been tasked with expediting the process, with the committee expected to be constituted within a fortnight.

“I met the director and management of the ministry yesterday, and I’ve given them directives. Hopefully, within the next 14 days, we will set up an inter-ministerial committee to examine the cost of data,” Mr Sam George remarked.
The minister underscored his commitment to reducing data prices, assuring the public that notable progress would be evident before year-end.

“At my vetting, I stated that it is my firm conviction that before the year concludes, we should see tangible adjustments in data pricing,” he said.

Industry Engagement and Policy Direction

Mr Sam George stressed that policy formulation under his tenure would be guided by extensive stakeholder engagement, particularly with telecommunications operators and regulatory bodies. He disclosed that preliminary discussions with telecom executives had already taken place to assess feasibility and strategic pathways for cost reductions.

“Even before I formally introduced this policy, I engaged with all the telecom CEOs. I intend to be a minister who fosters collaboration with industry players. No policy will be announced without securing their input,” he affirmed.

Positioning his tenure as a recalibration of Ghana’s digital economy, Mr Sam George emphasised fostering closer cooperation between state agencies and telecom providers.

“I told them, this marks a new chapter— a reset. I have personally engaged every chief executive and the chamber to align our objectives and ensure consensus before making any policy pronouncement,” he added.

Consumer Concerns and Market Impact

The high cost of data remains a pressing issue in Ghana, with both consumers and businesses advocating for more competitive pricing structures.

The committee is expected to deliver recommendations that could precipitate regulatory interventions, pricing reforms, and heightened market competition in the telecommunications sector.
