The National Communications Authority (NCA) has announced that it will collaborate with mobile network operators (MNOs) to maintain uninterrupted telecommunication services throughout the election period and beyond.

The NCA has set up a situation room at its monitoring centre to track the media and address any communication-related complaints by escalating them to the mobile network operators.

This initiative comes just before the country heads to the polls.

Speaking to the media, Prof. Ezer Osei Yeboah-Boateng, the Deputy Director-General in charge of Technical Operations at NCA, emphasised that the authority is prepared to provide seamless service starting tomorrow and continuing thereafter.

“With respect to the election, we have set up a situation room for obvious reasons because telecommunications play a very critical role in communication and information dissemination during the electioneering period.

“So, as NCA we have set up a situation room and preparations are ongoing because we are starting the process tomorrow to Sunday.

“We will be working in collaboration with our stakeholders and the MNOs so that if there is any information we receive from the public we can relate it to the MNOs for necessary action. Also, if we have any information or report from the MNOs, then we can also take the necessary action to ensure that we have uninterrupted communication service during the period.”
