Concerned Mobile Network Subscribers noted that there is no law in Ghana that requires Ghanaian mobile network subscribers to “Re-register” their SIM cards.
“Any attempt to impose this on subscribers or block their lines would amount to an infringement of their property rights.” The Statement said
The group added that any attempt to impose the SIM card re-registration on subscribers or block their lines would amount to an infringement on their property righted.
In a release dated January 13, 2022, the subscribers urged all Ghanaians not to make or receive calls as a way of registering their displeasure about the circus surrounding the SIM card re-registration exercise.
The Subscribers are demanding that the National Communication Authority(NCA) and the Mobile Network Operators (MNO’s) come up with a better and innovative way of re-registering the SIM card by first amending existing law; and secondly to do without the current inhumane re-registration process Ghanaians are facing.
They assured that if the NCA and MNO’s fail to heed their demands, they would begin the first series of a planned boycotts on Tuesday, 8th February 2022, until the rights of customers are treated with dignity and respect.
Members of the group includes a former Kumbungu Member of Parliament, Ras Mubarak, Dean of University of Ghana school of law, Professor Raymond Atuguba, Private Legal Practitioner, Samson Lardi Anyenini, Investigative Journalist, Manasseh Azure and many more.
