  "summary": "Telecel Ghana is currently experiencing service disruptions for over 72,000 subscribers across various regions in the Central Region, including Winneba, Agona Swedru, and Apam, due to two fibre cuts along the Accra–Winneba and Winneba–Cape Coast routes. The Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, disclosed this in a Facebook post, attributing the damage to ongoing road construction works conducted by a road contractor. Telecel engineers are working to restore services, while a separate team is engaging the contractor to halt excavation works and prevent further network infrastructure damage. The National Communications Authority (NCA) is monitoring the situation as efforts to restore connectivity continue.",
