A ghanaian showcasing her national identification card
The National Identification Authority (NIA) says all persons captured to have registered double will not receive their Ghana card.
Public Relations Officer (PRO) for the NIA Assistant Commissioner of Immigration (ACI), Francis Palmdeti disclosed aa probe into the double registration has started to expose how the double registrations were recorded.
Speaking in an interview on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm, he explained that the NIA will resolve the problem.
About 32,756 persons registered more than once for the Ghana Card.
The situation has caused the NIA system to put the printing of such cards on hold as the system detects such act as fraudulent.
He said persons affected are being contacted by the NIA to inform them on what they need to do.
Meanwhile, the applications of some 350 persons have so far been challenged on the grounds of eligibility.
The NIA is also commencing a mop-up registration exercise in all 16 regions beginning with the Upper East and Upper West from Thursday, June 18, 2020, to Friday, July 3, 2020.
