Ranking Member of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Information and Communication, Mahama Ayariga, has formally submitted a request for information under the Right to Information (RTI) Act to the Communications Minister, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful.
His inquiry focuses on the Next-Generation Infrastructure Company (Next-Gen InfraCo) deal, which has faced increased scrutiny regarding its implications for the telecommunications sector in Ghana.
He is seeking specific information, including the full contractual agreement between the government and Next-Gen InfraCo, the deal's terms, and any financial implications for the state.
He has emphasised that such agreements should not be limited to verbal statements and must be made available to his office for proper review.
