General News of Sunday, 3 June 2018Source: classfmonline.comTelcos cheat – UrsulaCommunications Minister, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful [Middle]Telecommunication companies in Ghana under-declare their revenue, hence the need for the $89million KelniGVG common monitoring platform deal, which will ensure optimum revenue mobilisation for government from the telcos, Minister of Communications (MoC), Mrs Ursula Owusu-Ekuful has said. There is sufficient evidence, she said, which established that the telcos did not pay the required one per cent tax to the National Communications Authority (NCA) in times past. She has given the telcos up to 11 June to plug into the systems or face sanctions. Journalists were given the opportunity to inspect the monitoring centre and control room where ICT equipment, several computer servers, monitoring screens and prepared racks are installed to house equipment from each of the telcos for real-time monitoring. Director-General of the NCA, Joe Anokye, explained that telecommunication giant Glo Ghana, has already initiated migration processes.
