Franklin Cudjoe, the president of IMANI Africa, has counselled Samuel Nartey George, the minister of communication, digital technology, and innovation, to apply his intelligence more strategically when developing national policy, especially when interacting with private businesses.

“My good brother, I want to advise him, look, you are a very intelligent man. Your IQ is quite higher than most people, but please apply it prudently. Let it drive good policy for the country and for the industry,” Cudjoe stated.

He called the Minister’s active involvement in the recent dispute with MultiChoice Ghana over DStv pricing needless and ill-considered while speaking on Citi FM’s The Big Issue on Saturday, October 4.

“A desk officer should be handling this matter. The Minister should be focused on the broader policy question: if a company isn’t offering value, how do we increase competition rather than engage in showdowns?” he argued.
