Mr NIA Boss don't compare Ghana to Nigeria or Cote d'Ivoire because population of these countries outnumbered that of Ghana and If these countries use $300 million, does that means Ghana with a population of less than 30 million use $115 million. This is about 1/3 of Nigeria's figure with a population of more than 120 million people. Ghana does not need a new card now and system. The old one should be improve upon period.

What is there purpose of this ghanacard? In Canada and US people have social insurance/security cards. These cards have numbers and they are used primarily for social security/pension benefits, taxes, jobs. So before we throw money at this ghcard. Let's fond out what our purposes is and who has something similar we can emulate. Perhaps, the ghcard should have a number that works for pension,social security benefits, collect taxes, act as job id #, used as id at the hospital.

"Dome" is in Accra, but by the way if you don't believe in yourself, don't doubt other blacks. Race has nothing to do with this.

What's the comparison for Nigerian's population is 4 times that of Ghana so if Nigeria uses $300m that does not mean we should spend $115m the problem is lack of vision where was he looking at before introducing the first card initially is because he need his cut of the contract while in office so as to allow his successor to scrap his cards and introduce new card to continue the vicious circle of create loot and share

Why do we keep listening to these simpletons? Even my JSS 1 daughter knew that Nigeria had 10x the Ghanaian population so if we are spending almost half of the money, they spent on their project, then we are in for once again, the corrupt practice of the Kwasea bi nti government. This goes to confirm, the NIA has caused financial loss to the state because in their own language, "Dr. Cobbah has also urged Ghanaians to accept the new card saying the benefits far outweigh the previous cards distributed by the authority", meaning, we are replacing the old cards because they are crap!!! They should stop lying to us and come clean this is money for the elections and nothing else. A local provider has promised to deliver the same thing for less, why is he not being considered? Why are all our money going to China? Why is the Chinese imposing their will on us and controlling our national data? Have we not heard of the intellectual and economic espionage of the China's on developed countries? I am fedup with this Mahama government that has not done anything right for Ghanaians. This is a rip off and needs to stop asap.

I realised that all the old cards have expiry date. If the cards for expatriates have expiry date I have no problem, but for Ghanaians to have expiry date is a problem. Renewals of such cards will be an unnecessary drain on the economy because the nationality of the Ghanaians do not have expiry dates. Please spare us the wastage of our funds.

Nigeria with a population of about 160 million spent in excess of $300 million and Ghana with about 25 million should be spending $115 million and a whole Dr expect the tax payer to shut up? What a country? After that, the Electoral Commission will come asking for money to print new voter ID Cards? And who told the Dr that the so-called new cards will be useful globally? Even our passport commands no respect abroad, because many Nigerians carry them. Get real, Dr Cobbah.

Ghanaians should pay a reasonable fee for it. If done properly, it will exclude all these Nigerians who have wrecked their Country and moving to Ghana, and have the balls to call some Ghanaians brainless.

I guess you have just confirmed that some (not all) Ghanaians indeed are brainless with such foolish comment, did you indeed think it out before spilling, for your information Nigerians will never want to register with the Ghanaians, are you sleeping we are the largest economy in Africa, the only thing that keeps some of us in Ghana is the peace which likely will be lost in 2016 when NPP loses again notwithstanding the corrupt NDC government.
