The Minister of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Sam Nartey George, has dared Bright Simons, IMANI Africa’s Honorary Vice President, to provide evidence of his claimed sole-sourced contract for SIM registration.
Sam George boldly declared he is ready to resign as Communication Minister once Mr Simons provides evidence of a sole-sourced contract for SIM registration.
In a post on X on December 6, 2025, Sam George stated, “I just got back from a wonderful time with my Constituents at the second edition of the Ningo-Prampram In Worship.
Simple matter;
‘Policy Analyst’: The Minister has authorised a sole-sourced contract for SIM registration to a particular company. He is motivated by katanomics.
Minister: Show any evidence of a sole-sourced contract for SIM registration, and I would resign. He who alleges must prove.

Dude, justify your claims or keep quiet. Cheers”.
In a subsequent post, Sam George expressed his disappointment with a categorical statement Mr Simons made, which claimed he authorised a sole-sourced contract for SIM registration.
He wrote, “I am highly disappointed to say the least. So, your categorical statements that I authorised a sole-sourced contract for SIM registration were based on hearsay? No fact, no evidence? Is this the ‘scholarly’ work you have been doing for 20 years?
Temperamental exchanges? Nah! C’mon. I am no docile being. I am called Dzata for a reason. Even the President referred to me as Dzata when he swore me into office. I roar. I don’t purr. Apologies if my roar ruffles your balance. I cannot diminish to make you comfortable.
Thanks for proving me right. The modus operandi of interest-driven mercenaries is to amplify the alleged grievances of others and run with them without proof or evidence, presenting them as fact. You claim you are embarking on this voyage to nowhere because some supposed colleagues of mine at the Ministry have reached out to you. I assume a wise person once said, ‘Birds of a feather flock together.’
Also, Bright Simon, in a separate post, revealed they will be filing an RTI request to gather more information about the whole SIM re-registration saga.
He stated, “We shall be filing RTI requests to gather more information about this whole saga, as you have refused to share the procurement plan and the solution architecture we requested, despite clearly having time on your hands to respond.
There are also several reports that keep coming out of your Ministry about you not taking advice from the experienced civil servants and technocrats there and in the agencies. We aim to learn more. Please respond to our RTI requests as expeditiously as you respond to posts on Twitter. Thank you in advance”.
The Communication minister, reacting to the post, stated, “ I was privileged to have worked on the RTI law as a Member of the oversight Committee. I know the law has safeguards against abuse and prescribes how to deal with the same. We will, by all means, respond to all requests that meet the threshold.
The point still remains, Bright, discerning Ghanaians read your initial post. You accused me of authorising a sole-sourced contract for a mushroom company called Transactly for SIM Registration. That was your specific claim. You ended by suggesting it was driven by what you called KATANOMICS.
i. I have challenged you to put out any evidence of my direction for a sole-sourced contract.
ii. I have challenged you to put out even the cover page of a contract with Transactly, or for that matter, any other company for SIM registration.
iii. I have indicated my willingness to resign with immediate effect if you can produce any of these”.
