Media personality Nana Aba Anamoah
Media personality Nana Aba Anamoah has responded to critics attacking the Minister for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovation, Sam Nartey George, over the rising cost of data in the country.
Since assuming office, the minister has come under intense backlash, with scores of netizens expressing frustration over what they describe as high data charges by telecommunication networks.
This public outrage is partly due to the fact that, while in opposition, Sam George was a vocal critic of his predecessor and had hinted at implementing reforms to make data more affordable once in power.
However, speaking on the issue, Nana Aba Anamoah has urged the public to be more patient and realistic with their expectations.
She has pointed out that reducing data prices is not an overnight process, as it requires multiple consultations, regulatory procedures, and collaboration with industry stakeholders.
She further stated that the criticisms should not solely be based on promises made while in opposition, as governing comes with complex challenges.
“It doesn’t work that way!! He can’t just get up and reduce data prices because he’s a minister. Don’t judge him based on opposition utterances. The reality in government is different,” she wrote on X.
Responding to a particular critic who pointed out how Sam George had repeatedly lambasted former minister Ursula Owusu over the same issue of high data charges, Nana Aba Anamoah said politicians often campaign based on what the masses want to hear.
