The Minister of Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, appears to have incurred the wrath of some Ghanaian netizens who have accused him of failing to deliver on his promises, particularly on high costs of data.
The criticisms directed at the minister appears to stem from public frustrations over the high costs of data services across the country’s major telecommunications networks.
Critics contend that the minister’s apparent silence on the rising costs of mobile data sharply contrasts with his previously vocal positions on tariff increases while in opposition, casting doubts on his commitment to the promises he made during that time.
They further argue that the rising costs of data — a basic necessity — has long been a persistent issue in the country, with data bundles depleting quickly despite their high costs, making access unaffordable for many.
In light of these concerns, they are calling on the minister — who also serves as the Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram — to address the high costs of data in the country, urging him to take decisive actions to reduce prices and enhance accessibility.

Sam George has a 99.9% chance of losing his seat for the first time if he doesn’t do anything about data prices in the country. I’m sure he’s aware of that, but if he waits until a year before the election to act, he may still have an 85% chance of losing that seat. His actions…
