Ghana Telecom debtors could negotiate payment terms

Ho, May 17, GNA - Ghana Telecom Company in the Volta Region has asked its debtors to come forward and negotiate concessionary terms for repaying their accumulated debt of five billion cedis. Mr Osei Afriyie, a Media Relations Officer of the Company announced this during an interaction in Ho with some of the Company's distinguished customers in the Region to mark Telecommunications Day. Ghana Telecom's local theme for the Day was: "Ayekoo to all our customers for patronizing Ghana Telecom, a truly Ghanaian Company". Mr Afriyie observed that Ghanaians would be investing in a local company by patronizing its products to help quicken the pace at which telecommunication services would be available in all parts of the country.

Mr Paul Amuzu, Volta Regional Director said the company was implementing a "three-pronged strategy targeted at guaranteeing ultimate customer satisfaction". These were increased capacity, widening coverage and enhancing quality service.

Mr Amuzu thanked those customers who had kept faith with the company and urged those who had abandoned the company to renew their partnerships with it.

Mr Kwaku Nayan Deputy Volta Regional Minister urged the company to extend its services to the northern part of the Region. He said collaboration was necessary in the industry for harmonious co-existence and an effective competitive business environment. Mr Nayan also drew attention to the need to make telecommunication facilities within reach of the physically challenged.
