The Ministry of Communications and Digital Technology has announced it will not renew its contract with Kelni GVG, the private firm overseeing the country’s telecom traffic monitoring system, due to unsustainable costs.

Communications Minister Samuel Nartey George disclosed at a press briefing in Accra on April 9 that the government’s expenditure on monitoring has surged from 28% of revenues at the inception of the contract in 2018 to 84% as of October 2024.

“This contract has become unsustainable for the state,” Mr George stated. “We are spending more on monitoring revenues than we are retaining. This is unacceptable.”
