Professor Nii Narku Quaynor, a Ghanaian Internet pioneer, has cautioned the current and future governments against any attempt to restrict Internet access in the country as a measure to control its misuse. His warning follows growing concerns about a potential shutdown of Internet services in recent years, particularly in the run-up to general election. On social consequences, shutdowns could disrupt critical services, including healthcare, education, and emergency response systems, while restricting Internet access could compromise the integrity of elections and undermine public trust. Prof Quaynor, therefore, urged government(s) to rather work to improve Internet connectivity across the country and at a lower cost to users to spur economic growth. She called for more support and collaboration among stakeholders to enable it to advocate for equal access to the internet.
