Biometric Data Collected for Ghana SIM Registration Not Authenticated
Biometric data collected from millions of Ghanaians for the 2022 SIM card re-registration exercise was never used for its intended purpose.
Between 2021 and 2022, citizens underwent a frustrating experience, resubmitting their biometrics for a mandatory re-identification of SIM card owners, as directed by the government.
Telecommunications companies collected fingerprint biometrics from subscribers and later blocked SIM cards of those who delayed compliance.
The biometric data collected was never used for the purpose for which it was intended.
The exercise was carried out over several months, causing inconvenience to citizens.
Author's summary: Biometric data from Ghana's SIM registration remains unused.
