The Minister of Communications and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful has announced plans by the government to sanction persons who deliberately refused to take part in the SIM Re-registration exercise.
According to the Minister, the ministry is in talks with the National Identification Authority (NIA) to address the challenges of registrants with genuine concerns.
She disclosed this while speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the Technology Breakfast Meeting organised to deepen the awareness of the government’s digitalization drive among public sector chief executives.
“We all need to ensure that we protect the systems that we are putting in place. This is one aspect of it, but the SIM re-registration is also another aspect of it. There are some who have genuine concerns, and we are working with the NIA to [address them]. But there are others who have the Ghana cards but have not completed the process. So clearly, either they do not intend to, or are unwilling to, so we will have some measures to announce in due course soon,” the Minister of Communication and Digitalisation explained.
