Cybersecurity and Information Technology (IT) expert, Adomako Samuel Kwame, has praised Communications Minister Samuel Nartey George for efforts to curb fraudulent activities in Ghana.

He emphasised that cybersecurity should be a standalone entity in Ghana’s digital governance framework.

“It’s clear that scam cases have decreased, and I would like to acknowledge the Minister’s efforts. The measures put in place are making a difference. His timely actions are truly commendable, and we’re noticing the impact,” he said.

He welcomed the recent arrest of scam suspects by security agencies, calling it a step in the right direction.

He also lauded the collaboration between security agencies and the Minister, saying it’s crucial for protecting Ghanaians from cyberbullying.
