The Communications Minister, Samuel Nartey George, has announced that the government will conduct a comprehensive audit of 2,016 community network sites to assess their completion status and operational condition. The audit will be commissioned by an independent contractor and will help the government understand the extent of work already completed by the contractor, identify any outstanding tasks, and gauge the overall condition of the facilities.
Due to the impracticality of the Minister visiting all 2,016 sites personally, an independent audit is deemed necessary. During a visit to the Sekyere Afram Plains District, George commissioned four community network sites in Nyameama No. 1, Nyameama No. 2, Dawia, and Abenua. The Minister emphasized the government's commitment to extending internet access to underserved communities and stressed the importance of ensuring that residents in remote areas are not left behind in the digital revolution.
He also called for the upgrading of the facilities' network technology from 3G to 4G to improve performance and provide a better digital experience for residents.
