A Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Economic Research and Public Policy, Dr.

Frank Bannor, has questioned the rationale behind the decision by the Mahama government to register SIM cards again.

The development economist, in a note copied to some media houses, indicated that the decision is not in the best interest of Ghana and must be abandoned. "The previous government spent millions of taxpayers' funds to register SIM cards across the country, an exercise which was very successful.

Why should monies be spent to redo the same exercise by this government?' he queried.
