MP for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa made the application for the sector Minister to be summoned.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will serve the people we respenets vhere very well,\u201d Mr Abalkwa said in Parliament on Friday March 15 after making an appeal to the Speaker to invite the Minister.<\/p>\n

Regarding the internet disruptions, the National Communications Authority (NCA) earlier said it was monitoring developments regarding an undersea cable disruption that has affected mobile and fixed data networks across the country.<\/p>\n

The Authority, in a statement, said, \u201cThe disruptions affecting multiple undersea cables responsible for carrying international traffic have occurred in Senegal and Cote d\u2019Ivoire and with some disruptions in Portugal. This has led to a significant degradation of data services across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to note that the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are working around the clock to restore full services. In addition, the MNOs have informed affected customers of the disruptions via various channels.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Authority is monitoring the situation and will update the public accordingly,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
