Indexing government scandals one at a time
The Fourth Estate reports that internet service provider Busy Internet, now Lifted Logistics Limited has been paid an amount of GH¢56 million although the firm failed to fully provide internet services to some schools across the country.
The report highlighted that many schools under the government's Wi-Fi for Schools Programme had gone months, and in some cases years, without internet connectivity, even though the government had paid for the service.
The service was often slow for schools with internet connections, forcing them to rely on other providers.
This lack of reliable internet made the study of ICT particularly difficult for several schools, including Accra Academy, Labone SHS, Bolgatanga SHS, and about 50 others.
Fourth Estate indicated that though the IT coordinators of some schools reported the challenges they were facing with the Wi-Fi connectivity, Busy Internet failed to act.
