<\/p>\nThe Minister of Communications, Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, has touted government\u2019s achievement in attaining a 100 percent digital migration in the country.<\/p>\n
According to him, the migration process is almost completed, adding that, it will give Ghanaians\u00a0the opportunity to experience better picture and sound quality as well as more channels to watch.<\/p>\n
Government few years ago commenced\u00a0the process to switch television broadcasting platforms from analogue transmission to digital, but has postponed the deadline several times.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”FyaHtKa1X9NTKtVABNLcuQ7vuAIP9DIS”]\u201cGhana\u2019s quest to migrate from analogue television broadcasting to digital is in its final stage of construction and we are finalizing processes to support our universal access obligation efforts by distributing one million set up boxes. This is because every citizen is entitled to the better picture, sound quality and interactivity that digital television broadcasting provides.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSimply put, President Mahama\u2019s government is bringing DSTV, apologies to their competitors, to your home, irrespective of your social and economic background,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Omane Boamah also used the opportunity to highlight on some government achievements in education, health, transportation, security, agriculture among others.<\/p>\n
He further rejected claims by the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) that the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) has collapsed.<\/p>\n
According to him, the scheme has improved tremendously due to massive investments by government into the sector.<\/p>\n
