Denkyira Meretweso: Community where residents climb hills to make calls

Denkyira Meretweso, a predominantly agricultural community in the Upper Denkyira East Municipality of the central region, is grappling with a lack of reliable telecommunication network coverage.

The absence of a stable network reception has left the community feeling disconnected and excluded from the government’s digitalization initiatives.

One resident expressed their frustration, emphasizing the potential risks in emergencies, stating, “If a disaster strikes and we are here, finding a place to make an emergency call to NADMO will be difficult

Even reaching the municipal capital before establishing a stable network could result in significant damage.”

Cosmos Ayiribi, a mobile money operator, highlighted the adverse impact of the network issue on their business operations.

Without a stable network, transactions cannot be conducted, leading to losses and hardships for their customers

“Our business is suffering because we are unable to function without network connectivity
