The allegations being made by the MP for Obuase West, Kwaku Kwarteng, accused the National Communications Authority and Communications Ministry of granting an already issued contract to Afriwave Telecoms, and reduplicated payments accordingly.

According to Kwaku Kwarteng, the contract to monitor international calls placed by telcos for the purposes of audits has already been awarded to Subah Info Solutions, and cannot be re- awarded without abrogating it, and tendering for companies to bid.

Afriwave Telecom, a wholly owned Ghanaian company, has however responded to the allegations of their involvement in such a deal with the NCA.
