In the wake of an announcement by the minister nominee for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovation, Sam Nartey George, that the government will re-register SIM Cards, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications, Dr Kenneth Ashigbey, has clarified that the previous SIM card registration exercise was incomplete.

Mr Sam George, who made the announcement during his vetting, criticised the past approach, stating that a more logical and seamless process would be implemented.

He emphasised that the new process would be more efficient and technology-driven to avoid the long queues that characterised the previous exercise.

In 2022, the government required SIM cardholders to link their numbers with their Ghana Cards.
