Residents of Tweapease, a farming community in the Kwaebibrem Municipality of the Eastern Region, are appealing to mobile network operators and government to provide them with reliable telephone connectivity.
The absence of network services in the community, they say, is hampering economic activities and cutting them off from essential services such as healthcare, education, and emergency assistance.
Speaking to Adom News, the Gyasehene of Akyem Tweapease, Nana Asiamah Boadu II, expressed frustration at the situation.
He explained that farmers struggle to reach buyers, order farming inputs, or negotiate prices due to the lack of communication channels.
“The entire community is affected. People have to walk or even climb trees just to make a call, and this is unacceptable in today’s Ghana,” Nana Asiamah Boadu II stated.
Some residents lamented that the situation has left their community isolated from the rest of the country.
They described the struggle of traveling long distances to nearby towns before making simple phone calls.
Despite repeated appeals to mobile operators and the government, the residents say their concerns have gone unanswered.
They are therefore renewing their call for urgent intervention to ensure they are connected to the rest of the world.
