The National Communications Authority (NCA) has announced plans to collaborate with mobile network operators (MNOs) to ensure effective telecommunication services during and after the 2024 elections.

At a press briefing, Prof. Ezer Osei Yeboah-Boateng, the deputy director-general in charge of technical operations at the NCA, highlighted the importance of reliable communication during the election period.

According to him, a situation room has been set up to monitor and address any issues that may arise during the election period.

The situation room, he said, will work closely with stakeholders and MNOs to ensure uninterrupted communication services ¹.

He stated, “With respect to the election, we have set up a situation room for obvious reasons because telecommunications play a very critical role in communication and information dissemination during the electioneering period.

“So, as NCA, we have set up a situation room, and preparations are ongoing because we are starting the process Saturday to Sunday.

He added, “We will be working in collaboration with our stakeholders and the MNOs so that if there is any information we receive from the public, we can relate it to the MMOs for necessary action. Also, if we have any information or report from the MMOs, then we can take the necessary action to ensure that we have uninterrupted communication service during the period.”
