Ghana Cannot Outsource its Stability to Global Luck ~ IERPP Boss to Gov’t

Sim Re-Registration Not Financially Prudent – IERPP Fellow

A Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Economic Research and Public Policy, Dr. Frank Bannor, has questioned the rationale behind the decision by the Mahama government to register SIM cards again.

Why should monies be spent to redo the same exercise by this government?’ he queried. Dr. Bannor stressed that it…
