Sam George Collects Data to File Class Action Over Sim Re-registration Exercise

Member of the Communications Committee of Parliament, Sam George has commenced the collation of data to file a class action suit against the National Communications Authority (NCA), over the sim card re-registration exercise.

In a tweet, the MP for the Ningo-Prampram asked Ghanaians who were affected by the directive from the Ministry of Communications and Digitalisation to fill a form on his page.

This comes on the back of the NCA’s directive to the telecommunications companies to penalise persons yet to register their SIM cards, a move some stakeholders have argued as an infringement on the rights of Ghanaians.

Already, scores of customers massed up at the premises of the three major telecom companies to express worry over the punitive actions taken against them by the government.

The customers say, they are unable to make phone calls, while others lamented about their inability to access electronic cash in their accounts.
