Minister of Communications and Digitalisation, Samuel Nartey George, has said that the new SIM re-registration will go through a seamless process.
He said the exercise is to cure the deficiencies in the system especially in fighting mobile money fraud.
“This new registration exercise will help us track and address SIM and mobile money fraud because the system will automatically block the Ghana Card of possible offenders,” he said on the Key Points on Tv3 Saturday March 21.
Regarding the registration exercise itself, Sam George said that there is data in the current system that may have been fraudulently acquired.
“Migrating it into a new system without proper cleansing doesn’t solve the problem; it simply transfers the flaws,” he said.
The Ningo-Prampram lawmaker also stated, “We’re driving eSIM adoption. For those already registered, it becomes a simple verification.”
“This exercise is to cure the deficiencies in the system. We will have seamless, real-time verification,” he assured.
