Two drag Communications Ministry to court over Kelni GVG

Two Ghanaians, Sara Asafu- Adjaye and Maximus Ametorgoh, have filed a suit at the Human Right Division of the High Court, praying it to prevent the Ministry of Communications and other defendants from allowing a company, Kelni GVG, to have access to their private data.

Also joined to the motion as defendants on Notice to enforce the fundamental human rights of the applicants are the NCA, GRA, the Attorney -General, the Ghana chamber of Telecommunications, Airtel Ghana, MTN Ghana, Tigo Ghana and Vodafone Ghana.

The applicants are seeking a declaration that the plans of the Minister of Communications, the NCA and GRA to implement the common platform (CP) by connecting real time to the entire switch of the physical network nodes of the TelCos under the $179-million Kelni GVG contract constitutes an infringement on their fundamental Human Rights to privacy.
