The Minority in Parliament is requesting for another extension for the deadline for the registration of SIM Cards in Ghana.
Deputy Ranking Member on the Communications Committee of Parliament, Sam Nartey George, says the President must ensure that, the registration goes beyond the 31st July deadline.
According to him, several factors have prevented many in their quest to register their SIM cards.
The exercise which began on 1st October 2021, was originally scheduled to end on 31st March 2022 but was extended by the sector Ministry to 31st July 2022, due to the fact that over 7.5 million citizens and residents at the time, were yet to obtain their Ghana Card, to enable them register their SIM cards.
The Communications Ministry subsequently said 12 million Ghanaians have so far linked their Ghana cards to their SIM cards.
Meanwhile, Government has set July 31 to be the deadline for all persons to re-register their SIM cards with their Ghana cards with the Ministry of Communications and Digitalization, indicating that people who fail to comply with the directive will have their SIM cards deactivated.
