The Ministry of Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovation has assured the public that it is actively investigating allegations of data tampering by telecom operators and will hold any company found to be in breach of regulations accountable. This follows mounting public frustration over what consumers have dubbed “vanishing data,” with complaints that mobile internet bundles are depleting rapidly—even after a recent 15% price hike by all telecom providers. Speaking at the launch of the Ministerial AI Bootcamp on Friday, July 25, Minister for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, acknowledged the growing concerns and confirmed that his office has received numerous complaints. However, he stressed that the Ministry cannot take punitive action unless there is clear evidence of wrongdoing. “So, when I say I’m working on the complaints, there’s no evidence. But if it doesn’t show tariff tampering, I cannot punish; that is a fact. And so people may get sentimental and say the things they are saying on X—I mean, it’s X,” he stated.
