The person or persons behind the idea to re-register SIM cards using the Ghana Card as a sole Identity lacks brains, Founder of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe has said.
Describing the re-registration exercise as needless, Mr. Cudjoe wondered why passports are not legitimate IDs but rather Ghana Card saying the idea is brilliant brainless.
“So, whose brilliant brainless idea is it to say that passports are not legitimate IDs for the needless SIM re-registration exercise?” He asked.
He stated his reasons:
“If there are fake SIM cards in the system, how is that the doing of those millions of us who registerd earlier legitimately? Shouldn’t the Telcos be asked to identify and block those fake cards?” He asked.
“Exactly how will the National ID card being the sole identity requirement for a RE-REGISTRATION of all SIM cards prevent the infiltration of fakes? Nor can any ID actually do so? So, if we all yield and re-register, we will not have fake IDs, ever? And if there are fakes in the near future, we all get asked to re-register again? What is this?” He asked.
As to why the CSO man will wait until the very first day of the exercise to start his criticism has been met with suspicious reactions.
