NA panel issues summons: CEOs face scrutiny over poor telecom services

The National Assembly Standing Committee on Information Technology and Telecommunication has expressed serious concern over poor mobile phone services across the country and decided to summon the chief executives of Jazz, Zong, and Ufone in its next meeting. The committee also decided to summon NEPRA officials over the regulator’s refusal to recognise the telecom sector as an industry, which could help resolve electricity supply and load-shedding problems affecting telecom towers.

The committee emphasized that telecom companies should provide concrete information on the practical measures being taken to improve service quality and directed NEPA officials to explain their position on the matter.
