GT Cuts Off Ministries For Non-Payment

Ghana Telecom (GT) has disconnected telephone lines to the ministries, the nerve centre of Civil Service activities in the country.

They are said to owe GT over ?8 billion which had been outstanding for the past one year.

The affected institutions include the Ministries of Roads and Transport, Education, Youth and Sports, Health, Lands and Forestry and Mines.

Mr. Johnny Tetteh-Addy, General Manager, Corporate communication of GT, confirmed this to the TIMES, and explained that the action was taken after persistent failure by the affected ministries to honour their obligations.
