A step in the right direction. However, since the percentage of the population who have access to internet services in their homes, like the minister suggested, is nothing to write home about, government need to go a step further. I have an idea to solve and bridge that gap to make this a success.

You see how stupid this project has been? First things first. Hospitals have no bed. Schools have no chalk and you're thinking of people accessing Internet. Create, loot and share.

Development pepeni omanhene says is unequaled , and i ask what is the meaning? Is it the total uselessness , or insignificance , level of copying , corruption kick backs or the benefits his kleptomaniac brothers and cronies have acquired , the level of prejudice of against anything that can benefit Akan areas or people . Pepeni has borrowed and created more debt than all the previous presidents before him combined including Nkrumah yet we dont see any results such as the attempts of raising any basic or primary industry to add some value to our natural resources before export that creates jobs for millions as Nkrumah and all presidents except for pepeni and JJ tried to. What is unequaled is the billions that have been siphoned out of the country mainly to islamic destinations like Iran , Dubai and Turkey. He boasts about the nonexistant 200 schools yet forgets over a century ago Akans mainly Fantes built schools that today would each cost no less than 20 million each. He offers markets and toilets as if the local community could not do so themselves if the taxes and various levies collected in those areas remained there. But no pepeni/ayigbe must chop bribe together with their Gas Adas and other satellite allies against the Akans. A govt whose members are selected not based on competence but their level of hate or prejudice against the Akan majority or the family blood ties to pepeni mahama can never serve anybody except their selfish selves and will always fail. The success or failure of any business , govt or social enterprise is determined by the personnel or cadre who execute the defined goals. In our case we need a govt selected based on merit and experience to get us out of this vicious circle of poverty and bad luck , so i would expect to see at least 3 investment bankers , 4 engineers , 2 macro economists and one doctor of project management and that govt with people of integrity will surely have results in less than a year. Competent Ghanaian all decline to associate themselves with NDC and their corruption driven govt.Pepeni went to mislead the chiefs to use festivals to promote market and project development but omitted to tell them no project has made it through the finance ministry without paying an arm and a leg in bribes , talk less of the cabinet or parliamentary committees. Mafias dont need economists or bankers but rather opt for book keepers or accountants like we see in our minister of finance being shadowed spied and watched by pepeni's cousin chief director Alajih Major Tara. Look at former minister of state for development now minister of science technology with his dentist of army qualification Alajih Dr Mustafa Ahmed and tell me he is capable of contributing something good except positioning himself to collect bribes. None of this will ever end up in Ghanian media or newspapers as NDC ( mainly Ga /Ada) activists now holding national security id s go around intimidating the journalists ,editors and owners of these establishments. We know the motive for these useless utterances by pepeni as his strategy ids to hoodwink the people into believing so much has been done for development , with roads , schools etc but notice there is no railway , no health services with modern ambulances including helicopters , fire services lack fighting water tank planes or helicopters talk less of specialised fire fighting equipment as not all will pay bribes , no initiation of any strategically important industry . Just get ready for the whirlwind of propaganda and lies saying the empty projects with no direction is what we couldnt do ourselves so they did. BULLSHIT GALORE

They have all these so-called professionals who know next to nothing to manage affairs. Or maybe, it is the reporters/journalists idea of a hacker.

I think the NITA project is a step in the right direction as other commenters have already indicated.Others are worried that other basic needs must be dealt with such as provision of hospital beds before embarking in such a project. While they have a point, I belief that we can do these thing concurrently for if we want to solve key problems first, then we will never take off because the problems will never end. My only worry is that are MDAs willing and up to the task? I remember I sent an email to informed (completed an online registration form) the Ghana embassy about my presence in one of the countries abroad and also inquired about something for about 7-8 months ago and yet to hear from them.So, if those who are supposed to know better and have everything in place are behaving this way, what about MDAs in Ghana? I am not surprise that some Ghanaians abroad are not contacting their respective agencies for similar reasons mentioned above.
I will end my submission with the following questions:
1. Are there punishment for Ghanaian non-responsive embassies?
2. Are there deadlines for MDAs to adhere to under the NITA platform?
3. Are there sanctions if they fail to deliver by such deadlines?
4 Is it not also the case that MDAs will hide behind the curtains of domso domso and unreliable internet to justify their inability to deliver even though they may be right to some extent?
5. I also suggest that we automate most of the entities/facilities in Ghana as a way of reducing human interface with money directly in order to reduce corruption. One area is automation of fuel stations and I have some ideas to share as to how that can be done.After assessment of taxes such as VAT clients should pay directly into the consolidated account and send the pay-in slips to VAT offices for record keeping. It should an offence to pay cash to GRA personel.

Paadidi, if these folks don't even reply to e-mails what makes you think that someone is going to take the time to respond to your loaded questions?
