[00:00:00]pushed through for Ministry of Finance to pay. Then we all have a big problem in this country.

[00:00:07]We all have a big problem in this country. You don't have the floor. You are talking about my floor. No, you have asked me a question. I have the floor.

[00:00:14]You will let me answer the question.

[00:00:16]Minister No, no, you will let me answer the question. No, you won't do that, Abena. You won't do that today. Let me finish. Minister, respect me. Let me finish. This is our committee. You can tell us what you want to do, but you have not brought me here to talk down to me as well.

[00:00:39]>> [laughter] >> I better let me tell you I better let me tell you I can't take too much.

[00:02:09]Don't be a fool.

[00:02:14]Come on. Come on. Come on.

[00:02:25]What? What? What? Political updates.

[00:02:30]Subscribe. Like.

[00:02:34]I told him.

[00:02:39]I CAN'T TAKE TOO MUCH.

[00:02:43]WE NEED TO go But some judge they had me go see I said I said chairperson.

[00:03:03]I'm dressing up as a chairperson. I'm dressing straight.

[00:03:13]Push through for Ministry of Finance to pay. Then we all have a big problem in this country.

[00:03:20]We all have a big problem in this country. If this is how the payments were effected, we all have a big problem. Who makes the payment on behalf of the ministry against my ministry's votes? And so that's why I'm saying that this 10.9 could not have been paid from any other source except through the Ministry of Finance.

[00:03:42]Yes, but that is what everybody comes to say here. But I'm saying that definitely it initiated from the Ministry of Communications. And that is why I am asking there should be some level of evidence for Ministry of Communications to initiate this amount from their ministry to the Ministry of Finance. Ma- Madam Chair.

[00:04:06]>> You know, we work with the gift miss and with these things you need to attach documents. Finance Director, do you just get up and bring letters to Ministry of Finance to pay? Definitely, you would come with supporting documents. You heard the Ministry of uh Sports just leave here and they had to confess that for one reason or the other they were waiting for evidence that did not come and then straight away they sent it to uh Ministry of Finance and your auditors flagged it. So, I'm asking there was no evidence of work done, there was nothing and then this was pushed through for Ministry of Finance to pay. Then we all have a big problem in this country.

[00:04:50]Private businesses are about making profit and those profits they paid to you over eight years at the Finance Ministry as corporate taxes.

[00:04:59]Policy policy decision and policy leadership ought to make sure that we took steps to protect the customer. And I'm saying that we under this reset agenda and under a responsible government have done so. Minister Wait and uh no, honorable I'm also a member of parliament. Don't do this. You don't have You don't speak.

[00:05:18]I am on the floor, honorable. Honorable >> Let me make my point. No, you won't you won't you won't tackle me. Don't play sentiment.

[00:05:25]Mr. Speaker Until and unless policy decision is making Honorable Honorable you need to rein in the honorable member. She's being unruly. No. You're being unruly, please. This is unbecoming of a member of parliament, please. Stop doing this.

[00:05:37]>> listen. You don't have the floor. No, I am on the floor.

[00:05:41]No, you have asked me a question. I have the floor. You will let me answer the question. Minister No, no. You will let me answer the question. No, you won't do that, Abena. You won't do that today.

[00:05:50]Let me finish.

[00:05:52]>> Minister, respect me.

[00:05:53]>> Let me finish. This is our committee.

[00:05:55]You don't >> You don't tell us what you want to do, but you've not brought me here to talk down on me as well. Nobody is doing that to No, you I listened to you go on. You were listening there as well. Respect me. We have we have asked them to hold their mouth. We have asked them Respect me. Can I turn off your mic?

[00:06:08]>> gave me the floor, please. Minister. We we we thank you.

[00:06:11]>> Minister.

[00:06:12]Honorable, don't do this.

[00:06:13]>> This is our committee. Minister, we respect we understand.

[00:06:16]>> it's your committee, then don't invite us. But, if you invite us, you ask a lot of questions. Minister, respect me.

[00:06:21]>> a question, you listen to us as well.

[00:06:23]It's not a monologue.

[00:06:24]>> respectfully. So, respectfully, let me land.

[00:06:26]>> We will let you land. Let me answer the question. Minister, respectfully, we will let you land. You're coming to repeat the Minister, we are not coming to repeat anything. We said we will let you land. Please. When you come here and we address issues, it is not that we want to talk anybody down. Never.

[00:06:41]We go beyond and now we go beyond this.

[00:06:43]We go beyond this. It is not that we want to talk anybody down. But, Minister, the situation is serious. And that is all the sentiment I'm trying to carry across. And and that's the point I'm making. We've given a policy direction in January. On the back of our policy direction, MTN is rolling out 800 new sites. Tigo is rolling out 315 new sites. Between those two companies, you see 1,150 new sites. However, that's what I said to you that this is engineering and not sentiment. When you when you ask a an MNO to roll out a new site, there are steps that have to be taken. First and foremost, you need to do the acquisition of the site. Then you need to then make the requisition for the radio equipment and the cell site. Those are not things that are for for want of a better phrase, in a supermarket that you just go and buy. You place an order with an OEM. The regulator, the NCA, is going through this process. Most of the MNOs are receiving their BTA devices between July and August. So, yes, we have made the request. We have asked them to take the steps. They have taken the steps, but it takes time for the equipment to arrive in the country. And when the equipment arrives and they roll out the improvement, you would see the improvement in the network. But we cannot sit here after 10 years of failing to take action. Someone is taking action, and then you say that you want to see that quickly as possible.

[00:08:05]>> many Hold on.

[00:08:06]How many of the sites are they building this year?

[00:08:11]>> This year, MTN is doing 800 new sites.

[00:08:15]Airtel is doing 315 new sites. So, we're looking at 1,150 new sites this year. And I'm saying to you that over the last 10 years from 2016 Yes. the average has been 223 sites per year. And so, if this year we're doing 1,150, we're doing a 500% increase to try and cover. And that's why I'm saying that yes, we all go through the challenge.

[00:08:41]But I'm saying to you that you cannot you you cannot you cannot build some of these things into being with a snap of a finger. It takes time. And so, I'm saying that by we we gave that order in the first quarter of this year. It will take about 3 to 6 months. I'm confident that by the end of Q3 going into Q4, we would see a remarkable improvement in the network.

[00:09:25]too arrogant and they are very >> propaganda like And it's too much. It's too much. Member of Parliament.

[00:10:04]Oh, some issues.
