Uganda
has once again postponed the Sim card registration deadline for mobile phone
subscribers.
President
Yoweri Museveni says the new deadline in August must be respected.
In
April, the Uganda Police and the Communications Commission issued a 7-day ultimatum
for Ugandans to verify their Sim cards using their National ID details, to help
fight crime.
Some
Ugandans have however not been able to register their Sim cards because they
don't have Identity documents as the government department has been slow in
producing the papers.
Others
say they have submitted their biodata more than three times but their names
still cannot be found in the electronic system.
It
is believed that the extension date is coming on the heels of such
irregularities and delay.
