Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, the minister of communications and digitalization, has attacked those who have criticized the upcoming sim registration app.
He said that the government is not making money off of the 5 cedis extra for using the app.
The Minister claimed during a radio interview with Asaase Radio that the app will assist in easing the difficulties Ghanaians encounter while re-registering their SIM cards and that it is not about money.
There is a GHC5 cost for the self-service registration application, which will be made available on both the Android and iOS platforms.
“The sim registration app will be available for download on both android and IOS this week, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Each registration via the app will be subject to a GHC5 surcharge,” the minister said over the weekend.
“Nobody is seeking to make any profit. I listen to these things and I cringe that, is that what we have been reduced to.”
“Does everything has to be about money in this our country?” the minister asked. “People can’t deliver a service because it is needed and not hope to profit from it, where is our sense of duty to our country and our sense of nationality,” she said.
