Some communities in the Afadzato South District of the Volta Region are experiencing a near total blackout in telecommunications networks forcing the DCE for the area, Mr. Manfred Tawiah to call on the GIFEC for immediate resolution.
In a Facebook post, the Assembly Member for Leklebi Fiafe-Agbesia Electoral Area, Mr. Joseph Kofi Gakpo said the situation in especially in his area is worse this festive season to the extent that “Residents must walk long distances from their homes to make phone calls, which often have poor reception.”
“Yesterday, I had the pleasure of welcoming GIFEC to Leklebi Agbesia and Fiafe in my Electoral Area, where I showed the officers potential locations for installing poles to enhance telecommunications networks.” – Mr. Gakpo said

“My Electorates are experiencing significant difficulties with internet and telephone connectivity. I hope this issue is resolved promptly. I extend my gratitude to Mr Akorli and his team for their patience in following me to all Leklebi towns, from Agbesia to Kame.” – He added
Days after Mr. Tawiah was confirmed DCE, he announced a meeting with the Executive Director of the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC), Mr. Rashid Tanko Computer to discuss the telco network challenge in his district.

This season, the telecommunications network in Leklebi communities, especially Leklebi Fiafe and Agbesia, appears to be non-functional. Residents must walk long distances from their homes to make phone calls, which often have poor reception.
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of welcoming GIFEC to Leklebi Agbesia and Fiafe in my Electoral Area, where I showed the officers potential locations for installing poles to enhance telecommunications networks.
My Electorates are experiencing significant difficulties with internet and telephone connectivity. I hope this issue is resolved promptly. I extend my gratitude to Mr Akorli and his team for their patience in following me to all Leklebi towns, from Agbesia to Kame.
They demonstrated remarkable dedication, working late into the night, even at 11 pm, in Golokwati, Tekrom, Wote, and Sober.
I applaud Hon Manfred Tawiah for his tireless efforts to persuade the government to address the poor network issues affecting the entire Afadzato South District. Hon Manfred Tawiah
