Airtel to cough up $1.2 M
The National Telecommunications Company (NATCOM) that regulates telecommunication outfits operating in Sierra Leone, has fined Airtel a whopping US$1.2 million for its poor service delivery.
This was disclosed at a news conference held at the NATCOM headquarters at Regent Road, Hill Station, Freetown, on Friday 11th March, 2016.
According to the Board Chairman of NATCOM, Mr. Momoh Konte, despite several warnings by the regulatory body for Airtel to improve on its service delivery, it continues to provide poor service to the public with apparent impunity.
