VOTER ID SHOULD BE USED IN SIM CARDS RE-REGISTRATION EXERCISE HON. SAM GEORGE INSISTED.

The Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram has insisted that the voter ID card will be used for the SIM card re-registration exercise.

Sam George says the Ministry of Communications and the National Communications Authority have begun engaging telcos on how to roll out that move.

This comes as the deadline for the blocking of all unregistered SIM cards in the country has elapsed for some weeks now.

Samuel Nartey George, the Member of Parliament, says the Voter’s ID card will be included as a source of verification in the ongoing SIM card re-registration exercise.

According to Sam George, the Communications and Digitalisation Ministry as well as the regulator, the National Communications Authority (NCA), are engaging with Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to accept the ID Card as proof of identification.
