it's a well planned scheme by the highly corrupt Mahama Family & Friends govt not to distribute the National Identification Cards so that the NHIS cards will still be used

Isn't the NiA the same authority that siad they have stopped issuing cards to Ghanaians because they owe the company they just mentioned? I was there 3 months ago and all they could do was take my details and then give me some paper to check in 1 year time. The people there are all collecting bribe, even though the service is supposed to be free. Thieves and lazy service providers. The gov't itself is lazy completely confused.

You people like good things. What you fail to realize is that those niceties become possible with money. We always cry out to stop governments from taking foreign loans but we have all as a people failed to pay our taxes. So the promises will come but delivery of those promises will always elude us. Dr. Josiah Alfred Mills, please show us your tax certificates, just one since 2000

To get a credible ID all Ghana roads must be named and every house registered as they do in all developed countries. after this id can be issued to all with ease, because all you need is the name and address. Id cards can then be sent directly to the owner in the address which was given just as they do in UK where I live. Here when you open account in the Bank they will never give you the account at the counter, instead they will post it just to be sure you actually live at the address you provided. With this system tax fraud will be eliminated not completely but at least 80% of taxes will never get stolen.

Joko, how do you know this? Are you speaking from your own angry opinion or do you have facts to prove what you've said? Were you there when they pulled my cousin's boss' ID information from the "scam" database when his card was stolen based on his fingerprint alone? HAVE YOU EVEN SEEN THE CONTRACT TO KNOW WHAT IS WHAT? All your yorbing, have you even been to ICPS to know if it's an empty plot of land or a kiosk?

The political leaders for the some reason best to are feigning non availability of funding but has funds to steal for the private use
Ghana has no centralized national identity cards system and no street names , the non existence of these important identifications had diminished our national image value to large, all attributed to poor leadership and can make cumbersome in all national life and worse of is our elections

Folks, without a national database of people living in Ghana, any venture will be money being thrown through the window.

For instance the current registration process is 100% bound to fail because they have a bunch of about 10 men who move from one location to the other to register people.

What they are forgetting is that citizens regsitration is not a project but a non-ending process - it goes on every single day - because on each day people are born and others pass away.

Therefore the nation MUST set up registration offices in every district, if NOT in every single town.

Ideally, because we have "Ahenfie" even in the smallest village in Ghana, the most appropriate thing to do is attach citizen bureau to every "Ahenfie". These then send their registration to the district who , region and national headquarters.

That are just the basics ...

How many foreigners have they even registered under the FIMS project and what's their national/global track record in the biometrics industry?
