Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, ministre des communications et de la num\u00e9risation, a d\u00e9fendu la d\u00e9cision du gouvernement d'accorder un contrat de licence 5G \u00e0 NextGen InfraCo, une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9e une semaine avant l'approbation du contrat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pour sa d\u00e9fense, la d\u00e9put\u00e9e d'Ablekuma West a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que NextGen InfraCo avait \u00e9t\u00e9 sp\u00e9cifiquement cr\u00e9\u00e9e pour entreprendre le d\u00e9ploiement de la 5G. Elle a ajout\u00e9 qu'\u00e0 l'\u00e9poque, aucune autre soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d'infrastructure n'avait la capacit\u00e9 de g\u00e9rer le d\u00e9ploiement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le ministre a \u00e9galement expliqu\u00e9 que l'attribution directe du contrat \u00e0 cette nouvelle soci\u00e9t\u00e9 fait partie de la strat\u00e9gie du gouvernement visant \u00e0 contourner les difficult\u00e9s du pass\u00e9 et \u00e0 acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer le d\u00e9ploiement du r\u00e9seau 5G dans les pays de l'UE. Ghana<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIl s'agit d'une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e0 finalit\u00e9 sp\u00e9cifique et une fois que le gouvernement a pris la d\u00e9cision d'utiliser une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d'infrastructure neutre pour fournir ce service, il n'y a pas de soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d'infrastructure neutre existante qui puisse le fournir \u00e0 l'heure actuelle\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIl fallait donc qu'elle soit sp\u00e9cifiquement cr\u00e9\u00e9e pour fournir ce service sur la base des politiques et des d\u00e9cisions strat\u00e9giques du gouvernement, et c'est ce qui ressort de notre exp\u00e9rience, et c'est pourquoi nous avons choisi de ne pas la mettre aux ench\u00e8res\u201d, a-t-elle d\u00e9clar\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Son explication intervient alors que le journaliste d'investigation Manasseh Azure Awuni s'interroge sur le calendrier de l'attribution du contrat \u00e0 NextGen InfraCo Ltd. Awuni a soulign\u00e9 dans un m\u00e9dias sociaux<\/a> postent que la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 a \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9e juste une semaine avant de recevoir l'approbation ex\u00e9cutive du pr\u00e9sident Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n M. Awuni a \u00e9galement critiqu\u00e9 la m\u00e9thode du fournisseur unique utilis\u00e9e pour attribuer le contrat, dont la valeur est estim\u00e9e \u00e0 des centaines de millions de dollars, sans passer par une proc\u00e9dure d'appel d'offres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Entre-temps, le ministre a r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 que Next-Gen InfraCo (NGIC) devrait lancer les services Internet dans tout le pays au cours de la p\u00e9riode sp\u00e9cifi\u00e9e, avant de les \u00e9tendre \u00e0 d'autres r\u00e9gions du pays. Afrique<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Le NGIC, explique-t-elle, est un consortium form\u00e9 par le gouvernement du Ghana et sept autres partenaires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Il s'agit d'Ascend Digital, de K-NET, de Radisys, de Nokia et de Tech Mahindra, ainsi que de deux soci\u00e9t\u00e9s de t\u00e9l\u00e9communications : AT Ghana et Telecel Ghana.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, the Minister for Communications and Digitalisation, has defended the government’s decision to grant a 5G licensing contract to NextGen InfraCo, a company established a week before the contract was approved.
