I hope the minority MPs can stop this dangerous move. I call it "DANGEROUS" because it would keep the NDC in perpetual opposition. NDC always relies on foreigners to win vote (Togoless, and Burkinabes) so if the National ID project becomes successful where can they find voters to vote for them? I am of the strong conviction that the Minority MPS would raise concerns about it and try to kill it.

The speed with which the NPP seeks to implement the Nat ID only shows that a lot has already been done to enable the NPP implement this in its first year in office.
I am aware that all the needed infrastructure for the implementation has been done by the JDM-NDC administration.
Two state of the act data centers have already been build. One in Accra and a back-up in Kumasi. The specific card to be issued out and all the stakeholders to benefit from the data have been consulted.
The equipment to be used and the mode of card issue have been planned and secured.
My only concern now is that, the NDC will keep mute on their contribution to this important project only for NPP to implement and start making loud noise about it and take all the glory. Just like the NHIS.
NDC please set the record straight.

RENE-LONDON, THE ORIGINAL IDEA WAS FROM KUFFOUR ALRIGHT, BUT WHERE DID THEY DO WITH THE 40 MILLION GUILDERS FROM THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT FOR IT FULL IMPLEMENTATION. WHEN THE NDC WANTED TO INQUIRE THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT STOPPED IT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO RAISE QUESTIONS FROM TAX PAYERS IN THEIR COUNTRY, THE PROJECT CANNOT BE FUNDED WITH GOVERNMENT FUNDS. NDUOM WAS FULLY IN CHARGED, HOW DID HE RAISE FUNDS FOR HIS NUMEROUS BUSINESSES IN GHANA AFTER WORKING ONLY IN GOVERNMENT. P.V. OBBENG STOPPED ATTA MILLS FROM PROJECTING THE STEALING UNDER KUFFOUR, THAT IS WHY YOU THINK KUFFOUR'S NPP WERE SAINTS.

The idea was conceived and started by JAK under the npp. A headquarters was established and more than 80% of the job, including registration of Ghanaians and foreigners was carried out, before president Kuffour left office in 2009. Atta Mills sacked Prof Ken Attafuah and put Larry Adjetey in charge of the NIA board when NDC took over power in 2009! Ask Larry Adjetey and his corrupt board what they were able to achieve in all the 8years that they were in charge! If you don't have the facts stop propagating trash Kofi!

You all got it wrong. It was the Busia administration that started the National ID program in the the early 1970s. DO you remember the Alien Compliance Order that expelled undocumented aliens from Ghana? Kuffour tried to continue from where Busia left behind but he could not complete it. I hope the Akuffo-Addo would be able to do it. It is long overdue in Ghana.

What National Identification seeks to do, is to take count of all persons who live in the jurisdiction, called Ghana. Both Ghanaian nationals and foreigners. This will help the government plan for development and other related issues, including security. One of the major recurring issue of the identity of the Ghanaian, when it comes to national elections, may be solved by the successful implementation of the programme. The usual hue and cry over this rather sentive election issue may not occur again. However, there should be very strident laws against persons who would attempt to register as citizens. The fines should be stiff, both long custodial sentence and deportation. There should be option for monetary fines.

The Fucking NDC could not do it even if they pretended to put measures in place. This is purely because 40% of their voters are ALIENS. Thieves.

By the methodlogy, I mean the situation where staff from NIA would travel from town to town to register people IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG.
The one and and only effective way to register people would be to open registration offices at EVERY DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION that would capture birth and death data and also capture the initial data for National ID acquisition. This is simply because, National ID data acquisition is not a STATIC project - it is a permanent process as every single day, one or the other citizen would have to register/renew ID, some child would be born into the system, some others may depart us and.. and.. and..
Can common sense explain to us WHY some people would travel from Accra to register others in Sekondi/Tadi, Kumasi, Navrongo, Otwe-Bewe_At3 etc? This is possible, BUT 1000% inefficient. And that won't simply work!!
In fact, in countries where ID systems have been successful, citizens are registered IN THE TOWNS and EVEN SUBURBS of their towns and NOT at district level.
In the town that I currently live, there are EIGHT (8) offices where citizens would register. Citizens living within a set of ZIP/POSTAL codes would register at a particular office and no other office.
