MTN Ghana has stated it has not been formally informed about the National Communications Authority‘s decision to “implement specific policies to ensure a level-playing field for all network operators within the telecommunications industry.”
The Government on Saturday issued a statement among others saying, “Government, through the Ministry of Communications, acknowledges the investments MTN has made in their operations over the years and noted that their investments have enhanced their operations, however, its growing dominance has impacted negatively on competition and consumer choice, necessitating corrective action.”
Below is MTN’s full statement:
