I think what he's saying is different from what we are currently doing. I'm not a fan of him though. I am Bawumia fan.

So basically the GhanaCard will become a debt or credit card. You will top-up your card and use it for payment. Not a bad idea. Let's see how it will be implemented.

Bawumiah did not lay down the foundation for Ghana Card. The Economist who couldn't do his learnt job turned to an already made enterprise, something he wasn't around when it was started.

How does the linking of Ghana Card to services it become Bawumia's idea? This has happened the world over and the npp was in power for 8 years but did not succeed in completing it for the use of one versatile card? How did Bawumia even come in? What we know is that he started telling those lies to run away from the economy he destroyed.

Masa, agree that you goofed. Are you saying that you will take us to the stage where we can present only a Ghana Card (without signed cheque...) to withdraw money from our accounts? Or that when stopped by the police to verify our driver's licence we can just show the Ghana card. You spent so much criticising DMB that you have no clue how far he has led Ghana.

AKUFO-ADDO'S AIM OF GHANA'S PRESIDENCY IS TO LOOT GHANA AND BE PROTECTED BY THE INDEMNITY CLAUSE. KUFUOR AND MAHAMA GOT AWAY WITH THAT, SO WHY NOT AKUFO-ADDO? PERIOD. GHANA'S LEADERS AND ELDERS ARE HIGHLY CRIMINAL AND IRRESPONSIBLE. 10 months ago

WHAT FORENSIC AUDIT NONSENSE?!

WHAT KIND OF DIRTY DEADLY ECONOMIC PRECEDENTS ARE WE SETTING?

THE FRAUDULENT NATIONAL CATHEDRAL ISSUE IS IN BLACK AND WHITE, SO WHAT FUCKING FORENSIC AUDIT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? NO NEED FOR THAT WASTE.

DESPITE THE FRAUDULENT CONSTITUTIONAL INDEMNITY CLAUSE, EVERY GHANAIAN KNOWS AKUFO-ADDO STARTED THAT FRAUDULENT NATIONAL CATHEDRAL PROJECT, ASSISTED BY ANOTHER FRAUDSTER OFORI-ATTA WHO AIDED AND ABETTED IN THAT FRAUD "TO THE GLORY OF GOD".

THESE TWO FRAUDSTERS SHOULD'VE BEEN ARRESTED A LONG TIME AGO TO PAY BACK ALL THOSE LOSSES TO THE STATE INCURRED BECAUSE OF AKUFO-ADDO'S INSATIABLE OBSSESSION TO DEFRAUD GHANA BY USING FAKE PROJECTS AND FRONTS LIKE OFORI-ATTA AND OSTRICH-DARKO.

AN ORDINARY GHANAIAN WOULD HAVE BEEN JAILED OR SHOT LONG AGO.

The card must only serve a purpose of identity. Being linked to other services should mean that the card number, which is your id number, together with other biometric details should identify you and you alone as the authentic bearer of the details. Using the card as a bank, though doable, doesn't make much sense. For driver's licence, it's okay. In fact, these were amongst the benefits that Dr Bawumia was talking about for which he concluded that he would choose the card over an interchange, given a tight task to choose. All of a sudden, you want to make it your achievement? Lord, help us.

We need to build on what is present. If Dr Bawumia did some work, appropriately give him the credit and build on what he did. Don't start from scratch. We never grow that way. Politics never grows a country!

Who cares? Who own digitalization? And if it works do we have to abandon it because the initiator was rejected by Ghanaians? Okay, let's then make Bawumia Mahama's minister if digitalization.

Why are you fighting back boss? Didn't Bawumia also stole it from somewhere. Go to Rwanda and you will be amazed how they have done data integration. Singapore is superb. Everything is connected to your ID card. You apply for a trade license and you will be amazed how relevant authorities contact you without stepping foot on their offices. That is data integration not where DVLA has its own bio data, passport office has its own bio data, etc etc. Those bashing the boss must stop. This is no news. We are almost last on the ladder.....
