NITA has only ¢25 in its account while owing ¢813m – Sam George

The Minister for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has made a shocking revelation about the financial state of the National Information Technology Agency (NITA), stating that the agency has only ¢25.08 in its bank account while struggling with a debt of ¢813,486,505.89.

Speaking to journalists in Parliament on Monday, March 24, the minister described the situation as a case of state capture, questioning how NITA’s revenue is being controlled by a private entity while the agency remains in deep financial distress.

“NITA, for example, has a contract arrangement with a third-party vendor. I have summoned the third-party vendor to appear before me tomorrow because I do not understand how all the revenue coming to NITA is going to a private company,” he stated.

According to him, for the month of January alone, he was expected to approve a payment of nearly ¢4 million to this third-party vendor for services run on NITA’s infrastructure. However, he has refused to sign the payment and has instead referred the matter to the Attorney General for legal scrutiny.

“I will not sign any such payments until I understand why NITA is not getting a dime while a private sector player is making almost ¢4 million from NITA’s infrastructure,” he emphasized.

The minister further hinted that he would formally brief Parliament on the extent of financial mismanagement within the ministry, promising to uncover the full details of what he described as “rot” in the sector.
