Samuel Nartey George, Ghana's Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, said the country must prioritize robust cybersecurity, sound data governance and safeguards to protect citizens and businesses as nations pursue digital transformation.
Speaking at the Doha Ministerial Roundtable in Qatar, held alongside the Mobile World Congress, George warned that “Innovation without trust will not last. A digital economy without trust is a house built on sand.” He added that safety and security need to be built into digital services and artificial intelligence systems from the outset.
Proposal on Public Digital Infrastructure
George highlighted Ghana's particular concern for the safety and resilience of civilian public digital infrastructure, especially during periods of conflict. He said Ghana has submitted a proposal that addresses the sustainability and resilience of public digital infrastructure, emphasizing the protection of essential digital systems.
The minister's remarks underscore Ghana's push for stronger safeguards as it advances its digital agenda.
