Sierra Leone plans to crack down telcos that ignore regulations or are unlawful says country’s minister of information and communications, Alhaji Ibrahim Ben Kargbo. “Though the country is operating under the confines of democracy and a liberal economy which allows companies to operate without hassles, any telecommunication company that fails to cooperate in honoring the laws of the country will be closed down,” Kargbo said.
The mobile service providers in the country are being criticized for their ineffective service and high tariffs. “Mobile phone users are being cheated out of services they are to enjoy,” Kargbo said. “We find this quite unacceptable and will get to the bottom of it.”
The another issue added is the unprecendented installation of dishes in a clustered manner. “Some dishes are being planted with no compensation to land owners,” Kargbo said.
