IMANI Africa’s Franklin Cudjoe questions sim card re-registration

Franklin Cudjoe from Imani Africa has questioned the upcoming SIM card re-registration. He believes there are more pressing issues in the country. According to him, SIM card registration should not be a priority.

Cudjoe expressed his views on social media. He stated that as a civil society organization, they will seek answers from the minister.

He asked, “What for? Does the Minister want to register phones too? Don’t we have bigger challenges to improve the sector? Is crime the main reason people buy SIM cards and phones?”
