The Communication Minister, Samuel Nartey George, has revealed that Cabinet has approved a completely new SIM registration exercise following what he described as an extensive review of the previous process.
According to the Minister, the earlier exercise faced several challenges, including weak biometric enforcement, data inconsistencies and cases of registration fraud.
He disclosed this during high-level talks with the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications and the National Communications Authority (NCA). The meeting discussed the planned new national SIM registration exercise and the roadmap for the rollout of 5G in Ghana.
Mr George stressed that the new approach will not be a continuation of the previous system but a complete reset aimed at restoring credibility and strengthening security in the process.
