The Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Sam Nartey George has addressed allegations of conflict of interest surrounding the Dzata Foundation’s International Women’s Day event. The event, which was part of the foundation’s efforts to empower women, offered a training program to over 250 women on various business skills, including bookkeeping, marketing, and digital advertising.
According to Mr. George, the event was organized in partnership with Innohub Ghana, which has an existing partnership with MTN to deliver training sessions. However, George emphasized that MTN did not provide any material support to the Dzata Foundation, and their involvement was limited to educating the women on how to spot digital fraud and scammers.
Mr. George, who is also the MP for Ningo-Prampram Constituency, disclosed that he fully funded the entire program for the foundation, highlighting his commitment to transparency and ethical standards in public service.
The Dzata Foundation, which has been working to impact lives in the Ningo-Prampram Constituency and beyond, will continue to partner with George to empower women and support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana.
