  Mr Hon. Minister impose sanctions on some things, social media, interenet to children below 16 years of age. Children under 16 should be banned from using social media. Take the steps of Newzealand Austria, and many others. I know the NPP wil turn this to Politics, but this is a National issue, which will bring Dignity, and respect to Ghana, the Families, and our wealth. Period.

  Meanwhile he's doing nothing about the contents of even local TV, Radio, online media. We talk so much on International platforms but do nothing locally.

  ​Next-Gen Networks: Overseeing the roll-out and integration of nationwide 5G infrastructure in partnership with private infrastructure entities.
  ​Data Integration: Introducing initiatives like the Smart Data Initiative, which aims to break down governmental data silos and establish a central data exchange hub for more accurate, data-driven state analysis.
  ​3. Fostering Innovation & The Startup Ecosystem
  ​FinTech & Frontier Tech Expansion: Supervising significant funding initiatives (such as managing a $50 million Fintech Development Fund) to support local startups. The Minister also championing regulatory "sandboxes" to safely test new innovations in AgriTech, HealthTech, EdTech, and InsurTech.

This includes supervising the regulatory actions of the National Communications Authority (NCA) regarding frequency authorizations, and making critical state decisions to suspend or shut down broadcast stations when national security concerns or violations arise.
  ​Key Agencies Under the Minister's Purview
  ​The Minister executes these responsibilities by overseeing several critical statutory bodies, commissions, and agencies:
  ​National Communications Authority (NCA): The telecom and broadcast regulator.
  ​National Information Technology Agency (NITA): The ICT policy implementation arm for public services.
  ​Cyber Security Authority (CSA): Safeguarding national digital boundaries and responding to cyber threats.
  ​Data Protection Commission (DPC): Ensuring privacy rights and personal data handling compliance.
  ​Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC): Driving universal internet and telecom access in rural zones.

  What has media done? We all grew up watching western movies and contents, parents and teachers with the help of other elders in the community disciplined us. You don’t misbehave outside and think an elder won’t straighten you. Today 12 years old smoke weed openly as we helplessly watch on because if you Dey step in his parents will tear you apart. Teachers are hiding because the government has given the kids the power to do what they like and teachers must obey. You sit here today and say western media for what? Bring up the kids well, limit screen time and instill more discipline instead of massaging the root cause of the problem. Mtcheeeeew!!!
