The Ranking Member of the Select Committee of Parliament on Information and Communication, Mahama Ayariga, has officially submitted a Right to Information (RTI) request demanding that the Communications Minister, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, provide details about the Next-Generation Infrastructure Company (Next-Gen InfraCo) deal.
The Bawku Central MP, in his request, is demanding the full contractual agreement between the government and Next-Gen InfraCo, the terms of the deal, and an understanding of any financial commitments the state may have undertaken.
“You [Ursula Owusu-Ekuful] also mentioned at the briefing that “I am pleased to inform you that this landmark partnership was signed in Mumbai, India, on Monday, 27th May 2024, the culmination of a process that started over 2 years ago.”
“Kindly furnish me with a copy of the landmark partnership agreement for our review and understanding of the exact commitments of each of the partners since Ghanaians interested in the telecommunications sector cannot be groping in the dark,” a part of Ayariga’s request read in part.
