A senior research fellow at the Institute of Economic Research and Public Policy (IERPP), Dr. Frank Bannor, has criticized the Mahama administration’s proposal to re-register SIM cards, calling it financially reckless and unnecessary. Apexnewsgh reports
Dr. Bannor questioned the logic behind the decision, arguing that the previous nationwide SIM registration exercise had already achieved its intended objectives without the need for further expenditure.
Dr. Bannor described the move as financially unwise and unsound, asking what the government seeks to achieve with this proposed exercise that was not achieved with the previous one. He called on Parliament to intervene and block the proposed plan, warning of its potential impact on the country’s limited financial resources.
Dr. Bannor also questioned the motives behind the new registration exercise, suggesting it could be part of a broader scheme for financial mismanagement. He argued that instead of spending money to re-register SIM cards, the government should use technology to fix any loopholes in the existing system.
Dr. Bannor urged Parliament to vehemently kick against the government’s plan, describing it as a complete waste of scarce resources. He emphasized the need for fiscal prudence and responsible governance, stressing that the country cannot afford such reckless spending.
