Users kick against App for SIM card re-registration in Ashanti Region
Some residents in the Ashanti Region are kicking against the government’s decision to roll out a self-service app for SIM card re-registration.
Later today, the government will be launching a self-service application for SIM card re-registration.
The app is intended to ease congestion at registration centres.
During a press briefing on Sunday, Communication Minister, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful announced the app will attract a surcharge of GHC 5.
This comes after many Ghanaians were faced with challenges during the sim reregistration exercise.
Among other things, millions of Ghanaians are yet to receive their Ghana Card which is the main tool for registration.
Others are also yet to complete the second stage of reregistration due to long queues and other challenges at the network operators’ offices.
Because of this and other reasons, the Communications Minister announced that the deadline for reregistration has once again been extended.
Although some residents in the Ashanti Region deem the App’s introduction prudent, others argue the app should have been introduced in the advent of the exercise.
