This means Kasapa costumers will now be using chips and sending test messages. Mr Robert Palitz, Managing Director of Kasapa Telecom, said the development is in fulfillment of the company's promise to costumers in June this year that it would go digital and improve its services.

He stated that before the end of this year, Kasapa is expected to be operating in seven regions of Ghana and in all the ten Regions before June next year. "Kasapa is not the kind of company that will make grandiose promises and then disappear into the bush for a year with no explanation", he added.

He said that the Kasapa chips are free and that customers only need to buy CDAM phones that use chips from authorized Kasapa dealers. He said Kasapa chips would not work in GSM phones.

"We focus on keeping prices down and extending coverage", the Managing Director stated. He thanked the National Communications Authority and the Ministry of Communications for their patience with, assistance to and confidence in the company.

The Minister of Communications, Mr. Albert Kan-Dapaah, said Ghana has the highest telecommunication growth in Sub-Saharan Africa.

He said "Kasapa has made a remarkable story in the telecommunication sector." He challenged the Management of Kasapa to get new targets to ensure the expansion of the company.
