Telecommunications firms in Ghana have deactivated approximately 9 million unregistered SIM cards, following the government’s announcement on October 1, 2021, regarding a mandatory SIM re-registration exercise.
This directive, issued by the National Communications Authority (NCA) and Ministry of Communications, has resulted in significant consequences for subscribers who failed to comply.
During the interview, she revealed that her mobile money wallet was linked to her SIM card, hence her funds had been locked up with the deactivation.
She argued that her child had registered for the Ghana Card, which is the only required document for the re-registration exercise three years ago but had not got the card yet.
She demanded the authorities to allow her to withdraw her money so that the authorities can keep the SIM for whatever purpose they need it.
“They have blocked my Vodafone SIM card yesterday. I came here this morning around six o’clock when I came, they said ‘network,’ so I went inside. And when I went inside, they said Ursula Owusu has said that they have made an announcement that anyone who hasn’t brought his/her Ghana Card for re-registration of his/her SIM card should be blocked… but my child has registered for the Ghana Card, and it has been three years he hasn’t got it.
