Sim Re-registration: Has Nana Addo Entrusted Ghana’s Data To A Company Without Any Track Record?

The President of Ghana, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has entrusted the whole of Ghana’s biometric data into the hands of a Kenyan whose only track record in biometric data systems is registering Soy Farmers in a county in Kenya.

After the complaints being made by agents of the SIM card registration activity and the bottlenecks, I decided this evening to figure out exactly what was going on. This post here reveals some very interesting, if not worrying information that I believe every Ghanaian should be concerned about, regardless of your race, creed or loyalty.

The App that is used for the SIM Re-registration exercise is called the Ghana SIM Registration Agent App. You can find it on Google Play Store with a search with the same name.

It displays the name on the Google App store, as well as the number of downloads. Interestingly, you will also see several reviews of the App, almost all of which tell the frustrations of the users while trying to register poor SIM card owners.

A further look down will show the details of the developer. Usually, there will be details about the developer, their offices, their address and others. In this case, for whatever reason.

The Ministry of Communications and Digitalization has handed the whole nation’s activities to this or entity, as far as the digital trail goes. 

There are many questions we should begin to ask about the technical implementation considerations that went on with an activity like this.
