“We climb trees before we make calls” – Wawasua residents lament poor mobile connectivity

Residents of Wawasua in the Sunyani East Municipality of the Bono Region have added their voices to the growing demand for improved mobile connectivity in the area.

They have vowed not to vote during the 2024 general elections if their issues are not solved.

The community is struggling with poor mobile network coverage, making it challenging for inhabitants to stay in touch with family, relatives, and business associates.

They are urgently appealing to telecommunication companies to expand their network coverage to the area, as the lack of reliable mobile connectivity is severely hindering their daily lives and economic activities.

In an interview with Channel One News, one of the residents lamented, “The network is our major problem and is affecting us a lot.”

“I have to go to Sunyani before I can do business online,” another resident said.

“It’s difficult transacting business in this village, we’re pleading with the government to come to our aid.”

“We climb trees before we’re able to make phone calls, or we climb a storey building, but the owner of the storey building has warned us to stay off his property. If the government fails to resolve our network issue, we will not vote in this election.”

The Assembly assured that efforts are underway to get the authorities to fix the situation.
