The about 3.5 million Ghanaians who are yet to be connected to data and voice network will heave a sigh of relieve by the end of next year.

This follows the quest by the Ministry of Communications and Digitalisation to construct and connect some community Information, Communication and Technology centers and cell sites across the country.

The Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications is calling for a review of portions of the Electronic Transfer Levy law to exclude the 1.5% charge on payment of salaries made via mobile money (MoMo).

MTN Ghana says it will cap its mobile money service fee at GH¢7.5 for any transfer from GHS1,000 and beyond when the 1.5 per cent electronic transfer levy (e-levy) is implemented.

The Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications, says despite the tough demands that come with the reconfiguration of the systems of Electronic Money Issuers (EMI’s) in Ghana, for the implementation of the Electronic transfer Levy (E-Levy), its members are committed to making sure the implementation comes off successfully.
