Two Ministries share one phone
line
Accra, Nov. 28, Ghanadot/GNA - Lack of separate telephone
lines for the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of
Harbours and Railways is hindering work as officers from the
two ministries have to share one phone line to transact
official business.
It means while an officer in the Ministry of Communications
is on the line, his counterpart from the other ministry
could interrupt.
The two ministries are located on the same floor with a wall
separating them.
The GNA witnessed an incident on Wednesday when the Public
Relations Officer of the Ministry of Communications was on
the line.
Someone at the Ministry of Harbours and Railways picked the
handset and said "It is enough let me also use the phone."
An official from the Ministry of Communications said the
ministry used to be "Ministry of Communications and
Transportation.''
When it was separated the phone line was diverted to the
Harbours sector but officials from the Ministry of
Communications could also access the line to make and
receive calls.
He said about four years ago he put in a memo requesting a
separate line but till date a GHC20 (200,000 cedis) fee
requested to enable the Telecom operators fix the line had
not been paid.
