Ghana made a strong statement on the international digital stage during the International Telecommunication Union Plenipotentiary Conference (ITU PP-22) in Doha, Qatar. Representing the nation’s parliament as part of the official Ghanaian delegation, Hon. Thomas Worlanyo Tsekpo, Member of Parliament for the Hohoe Constituency, joined global sector leaders, policymakers, and industry experts to discuss critical policies that will shape global telecommunications leading up to 2027 and beyond.
Led by the Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Hon. Sam Dzata George, the high-level delegation presented Ghana’s official national policy vision on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama. A centerpiece of the policy address was Ghana's resolute commitment to deploy 5G network technology across the country by mid-2027, a move designed to drastically broaden high-speed digital connectivity and fuel national socio-economic growth.
Reflecting on the conference deliberations, Hon. Tsekpo emphasized the value of the engagements he participated in alongside global telecom stakeholders and fellow members of Parliament's Select Committee on Communications. He noted that gaining foresight into emerging telecommunication framework trends and advanced digital tech will directly inform legislative efforts aimed at expanding local connectivity solutions.
Reiterating his dedication to his constituents, the Hohoe lawmaker reaffirmed his pledge to push for robust policy frameworks that address equitable access to technological opportunities. By advocating for digital inclusion on the international stage, Hon. Tsekpo reaffirmed his focus on ensuring that underserved rural populations and communities across Hohoe and wider Ghana benefit fully from the upcoming 5G rollout and broader digital economy.
