Pressure group, Alliance For Accountable Governance (AFAG), has insisted it remains opposed to the installation of monitoring equipment by the state to check foreign calls terminated as local ones. The Government says the practice of terminating international calls as local calls was costing the nation, a huge amount of revenue. It therefore took a decision to install intelligence signaling systems to check the fraud and raise the needed revenue for the country. But AFAG says the equipment will be used to listen in on citizens communication thereby violating their fundamental human right to privacy. The group accused Communications Minister, Haruna Iddrisu of deliberately distorting the position of AFAG on the matter. Mr Iddrisu however, rejected the claims, saying the concerns of AFAG were ill-informed. Below is AFAG's statement on the issue.
