One of the more than 8 million people in the nation whose SIM Cards have been deactivated is the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin.
Samuel Nartey George, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ningo Prampram, has confirmed this.
On Tuesday, June 6, the MP voiced his displeasure on the floor of Parliament and disclosed that his SIM Card had also been disabled.
Since over 8 million SIM cards, including the Speaker of Parliament’s SIM card, have been disconnected, we actually ought to have had this briefing today.
Not the deputy, but the Speaker of the Parliament. Even though his official SIM card was registered in the name of the Ghanaian Parliament, it was disconnected. “Even I had my SIM Card deactivated. We need Ghana Cards, which the National Identification Authority must give us. Because people’s livelihoods have been impacted, it is crucial that the Minister briefs this house as soon as is practical today, Sam George said.
Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, Minister of Communications, is scheduled to update Parliament on the SIM Card re-registration exercise on Thursday, June 8. All individuals had their numbers terminated on June 1 if they didn’t reregister their SIM cards with the Ghana Card. Since then, those who were impacted have been rushing to complete the required registration procedures.
