In a current interview with the national daily, the Daily Graphic, Director General of the NCA, William Tevie stated the NCA's unflinching position on the contract even the face of the stiff position from CSOs and some section of the public.

The National Communications Authority has declared that it is not considering reversing the Interconnect Clearing House License awarded to Afriwave Telecoms Ghana Limited.

The Authority's comments come in the wake of escalating pressure from civil society organisations for the license, which is alleged to have been awarded under fraudulent circumstances, to be abolished.

Imani Ghana and MP for Obuase West constituency, Kwaku Kwarteng, drew public attention to what they believed to be a deliberate attempt to skew the procurement process in favor of Afriwave Telecoms Ghana Limited.

In two alerts issued by Imani Ghana, the NCA's independent Applications Evaluation Panel awarded Afriwave marks higher than was awardable in certain criteria being considered.

The NCA, however, refuted all the allegations in subsequent press conferences accusing IMANI Ghana of fraudulently concocting documents to make the NCA look bad.

In a current interview with the national daily, the Daily Graphic, Director General of the NCA, William Tevie stated the NCA's unflinching position on the contract even in the face of the stiff opposition from CSOs and some section of the public.

“The tender evaluation process was conducted in a free and fair manner and the best company won so we will not succumb to pressure from any source to conduct a new process to select a winner,” he maintained.
