InternetGhana Signs Pact With Ghana Telecom

One of Ghana's leading ISPs Internet Ghana has signed a pact with the incumbent telco Ghana Telecom. Leslie Tamakloe, the Chief Executive Officer of InternetGHANA said InternetGHANA believed in the President's declaration of the golden age of business and the private sector being the engine of growth. He believed, therefore, that the action by the government to intervene in resolving the issue, would go a long way to boost the information and communication services.

Mr. Tamakloe promised his company's preparedness to help Ghana Telecom expand its network and Internet services to Wa, Bawku and Pusiga in the northern regions and other parts of the country.

Minister Albert Kan-Dapaah was on hand to make encouraging noises. Commercial disputes should not create differences between companies, but rather serve as a catalyst for competitiveness in the communication and business sectors of the economy, the Minister of Communications, Mr. Albert Kan-Dapaah has said.
