Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, explained the government's decision to re-register SIM cards. He stressed the importance of not carrying forward flawed data.
The Minister revealed parts of the current SIM card database may have been acquired fraudulently. This raises concerns about the integrity of official records.
He spoke at a media engagement event on March 17 concerning the new re-registration push.
Minister George warned that compromised data could cause problems if transferred to a new system.
The government aims to ensure a clean and accurate database for better security and service delivery.
This initiative is seen as crucial for national security and combating mobile-related crimes.
