Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram Constituency in the Greater Accra Region says, agents and vendor being able to register more than 10 sim cards proves the sim reregistration system is flawed.
According to Sam Nartey George, the admission by the Communication Minister in recent statement shows that she is not on top of her job and must resign.
In an interview with Accra-based Joy FM on October 17, the lawmaker called out the Minister for threatening to sue and jail vendors and agents.
“The Minister in her own statement admits that the reregistration she is doing is flawed because agents and vendors have registered more than 10 SIM cards using on Ghana Card during the process.
“It shows you how inefficient and incompetent the minister is because if you say a Ghanaian should not be able to register more than 10 SIM cards with one Ghana card and the system you out in place does not put the ability to prevent people from registration more 10 SIM cards….you are now asking vendors and agents who have created preregistered SIMs and are selling them to deactivate them because they will be prosecuted for 5years. How is that the process we were told will clean up the SIM card registry has now created preregistered SIMs?” he asked.
Calling out the system as flawed, he said the minister could be prosecuted for her for causing financial loss through her incompetence.
“Your process that should clean up the SIM card register has created more fraudulent SIM cards in the system. So on what basis is she going to deactivate anybody’s SIM card because she herself is admitting that there are SIM cards now that have preregistered based on her process.
“If this was a proper country, the minister should be facing prosecutions for causing financial loss to the state and she shouldn’t be holding her office as minister of state because she has shown us she is incompetent and not fit to hold such a sensitive office,” he added.
