Communications Minister Haruna Idrissu has directed the National Communications Authority to engage telecom companies before it terminates all unregistered SIM cards this week.Mr. Iddrisu hoped such a dialogue would enable them to address challenges of validation of SIM cards that have not been properly registered.The directive follows fears by the telcos of a possible loss of more than 3.2 million customers should the NCA enforce the law later this week.Speaking to Joy News on the sidelines of World Mobile Congress in Barcelona, Spain Mr. Iddrisu said government does not intend to deny Ghanaians their right to communication.“If the National Communications Authority engages with network operators, they can reach an understanding on how to deal with the challenges of those who have attempted to register or have registered but have had to wait for a validation to finalize the registration process.”
Meanwhile, the NCA has said the Minister’s directive that the termination is done with a human face plugs into the Authority’s practice.Deputy Director in Charge of Corporate and Consumer Affairs at the NCA Mawuko Zormello tells Joy Business, the Auithority has already taken steps to ensure that no subscriber is deprived his right.
