Member of parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam Nartey George has sparked a discussion about the possibility of another SIM registration drive by the new NDC administration.
The outspoken MP criticized the process as faulty and criticized the inconvenience of users waiting in huge lines to register their sims.
In a statement to the media, Sam George made it clear that users will not need to physically visit the Telcos’ offices in order to register.
“…We stand here on behalf of the people of Ghana to demand that the Minister of Communications takes the rightful steps to ensure a clean register without disenfranchising Ghanaians many of whom the money for the feeding of their families is stuck on their SIM Cards. If that is all you needed to buy medication for a sick family member, you’ll realize the pain that Ursula has put people through.
“Again, let us be clear that it is not true they are using this to fight crime. Don’t forget that the Ghana Card fundamentally is flawed and that’s why we have served notice that the next NDC government will do a proper re-registration which will not involve you having to go and cue in telecom offices but we’ll do a proper re-registration of SIM Cards.”
The NCA and telecom network designated May 30 as the cutoff date for all users without registered SIM cards.
