Ghana is strengthening its legal and policy architecture to support the country’s digital transformation, according to Deputy Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations Mohammed Adams Sukparu.
Speaking on behalf of the sector minister, Samuel Nartey George, at the TechLaw Conference 2026 and the launch of AITLAP (Association of Information Technology Law Professionals) Africa at the University of Ghana School of Law, Sukparu said the intersection of law, technology and innovation has become a defining force in Ghana’s development trajectory.
According to him, the establishment of AITLAP Africa aligns with government efforts to reinforce regulatory frameworks governing fast-growing segments of the digital economy, including financial technology, e-commerce, data protection, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.
Sukparu stressed that closer collaboration between legal professionals, technologists and policymakers is essential to ensure innovation remains inclusive, secure and internationally competitive, particularly as digital adoption accelerates across the economy.
The deputy minister pointed to artificial intelligence as an emerging driver of efficiency in financial services, legal practice and public administration, but cautioned that its deployment must be guided by clear ethical standards and forward-looking legislation.
He further reaffirmed the ministry’s open-door policy and pledged support for partnerships with AITLAP Africa, particularly in research, capacity building and public education on digital rights and emerging technologies. He urged stakeholders across the public and private sectors to play active roles in shaping Ghana’s digital future.
