PPP did not back anybody's proposal. It made a clear, thinking proposal to put the national identification system at the center of determining who is Ghanaian and how old the person is.

Papa, your views sound good to me but the PPP statement does not say so. Are you their spokesman or the man we see in the pics?

One important question we should ask ourselves is, WHAT HAPPENED TO GHANA CARD? It was started by Kufour regime in 2007 and before he left office in 2009,3 regions namely Volta,Eastern and Western regions had been done,and Ashanti,BA and G Accra were in the process of being undertaken.Peace loving and patriotic Ghanaians,the huge benefits of Ghana Card are outline below:
The Ghana Card, which uniquely identifies the individual based on biometric features, can be used by the individual for the verification and authentication of identity in the following situations:[1]
Ghana Card Use[edit]
Health Delivery: The Personal Identification Number (PIN) and biometrics/personal information is cross-checked with the existing data in the National Identification System during a Ghana Card holder's National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) registration.[1]
Passport Acquisition: Any time a Ghana Card holder applies for a passport, their Personal Identification Number (PIN) is captured on the passport and their personal information cross-checked with the existing data in the National Identification System.[1] A Ghana Card holder may not be able to acquire a passport if they do not possess the Ghana Card.[1] This is because only people who qualify to hold Ghanaian passports will be issued with one since the individual’s nationality can be properly checked from the National Identification System.[1]
Acquisition of Driver’s License: The Personal Identification Number (PIN) is one of the required information the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) demands as soon as the Ghana Card is issued to applicants.[1] The PIN is captured on a Ghana Card holder's driver’s license and vehicle registration documents.[1] The personal information is also verified from the NIA to determine a persons true identity for license acquisition and establish the true identities of vehicle owners.[1] A time will come when a person may not be able to make new registration or renewal at the DVLA without their Ghana Card.[1]
Shipping and Clearing of Goods from the port: All goods a Ghana Card holder exports out of Ghana or imports into Ghana is directly linked to their Personal Identification Number (PIN) to eliminate fraud and theft in the shipping and clearing of goods at the ports and harbours of Ghana.[1]
Receipt of Banking Services: A Ghana Card holder can use the Ghana Card as identity verification document when opening bank account, withdrawing money from the bank or receiving money transfers in Ghana.[1] It is easier for a Ghana Card holder to also take loan from the bank whether you work in an identifiable institution or not.[1] This is because their identity can be easily verified and the banks are confident that they can be traced in the event of loan default based on their PIN or biometric information stored on the Ghana Card.[1]
Credit Information: The use of the Ghana Card can enable the banks in Ghana to easily establish persons credit-worthiness from the Credit Referencing Agencies any time they apply for a loan. This may lead drastically to the reduction in bank rates on loans since the banks can establish whether they are already servicing a loan from another bank which will result in a reduction in the incidents of bad debts.[1]
Registration of Business: Business registration is linked to a Ghana Card holder's Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) to help identify them as the true owner of their business. The Registrar General’s Department make it a requirement for all business owners to provide their PIN on the Ghana Card during business registration.[1] This eliminates business registration fraud through the exposure of false identities and prevents multiple registrations of businesses for fraudulent purposes.[1]
Education: The PIN of a Ghana Card holder's child is captured during enrollment into primary school and the number is used for admission into every school level until the child completes tertiary education.[1] This helps in tracking the progress of a Ghana Card holder's child in the educational sector for necessary policy interventions. It prevents a persons Ghana Card from by a replaced, and unqualified ones by some school authorities during admission.[1] Students who qualify for student’s loan are able to use the Ghana Card to establish their identities to eliminate fraud.[1] Data from the NIA database enables the Ministry of Education to plan effectively for the provision of targeted educational infrastructure and other resources for their community.[1]
Job Search: The Ghana Card is used to establish a persons identity during job search. This boosters their chances of getting the job as employers will be sure they are dealing with the rightful owner of the certificates a person provides in support of their qualifications.[1]
Disaster Management: Identification of true victims of disasters is often problematic because there are infiltrators who take advantage of the absence of credible identification system to benefit at the expense of the affected ones.[1] Data on a persons Ghana Card is used to establish whether they live in an area affected by a disaster to enable them to receive relief items.[1]
Access to Social Services: The Ghana Card authenticates a persons entitlement to government services. Services such as LEAP payments and free National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) registration for persons below 18 years or above 70 years is made dependent on the presentation of the Ghana Card.[1]
Protecting the Rights of Children: Child trafficking especially for forced labour is on the increase in Ghana and children get lost on a daily basis in Ghana. It has been very difficult to establish the identities of children rescued from human traffickers or those found in the streets in order to re-unite them with their parents.[1] Since a Ghana Card holder's child’s fingerprints and parents’ information are stored in the national database, it is easier to return a Ghana Card holder's lost child to them when their live fingerprints are taken and matched into the NIS.[1]
Electoral Registration: During voter registration, a Ghana Card holder's PIN is captured for the authentication of their citizenship, name, age and residence in order to determine whether they qualify to vote or not.[1]
Travelling: The Ghana Card is used to validate a persons identity at airports, borders, police check posts and while booking tickets.[1] The emerging Ghana railway travel may require a person to carry their Ghana Card especially if e-tickets are introduced.[1]
E-Commerce & Payment Industry:The Ghana Card is used in a multiplicity of situations – to register for offline services such as a loan or an insurance plan, while buying a car. There have been past issues raised about Know Your Customer norms for Cash Cards like E-zwich and ATM Cards.[1] The Ghana Card is likely to be made mandatory for the validation of all payments. Ghanaian companies currently offering m-commerce transactions such as Tigo Cash and the Airtel Zap service used for sending and receiving money, topping up airtime, transferring credit to others, paying utility bills as well as goods and services using the mobile phone opt for the Ghana Card as a verification document.[1]
Pension Claims: As identity theft occurs when someone uses a persons personal information, such as Social Security number without their permission to commit fraud by claiming their benefits or that of a relation.[1] The Ghana Card identifies a Ghana Card holder as the rightful and only person authorized to receive their pension benefits. In the event of the Ghana Card holder's death, only their children or spouse named on their Ghana Card will benefit from their pension claim.[1]
SIM Card Registration: With previous generations of ID Cards one of the key issues with the directive by the National Communications Authority for registration of all SIM cards for getting a mobile connection has been the verification of the individual getting the connection.[1] Particularly in urban areas, and with a migrant population in Ghana, authentication of individuals has been an issue; as a few people did not possess any ID at all.[1] So the Ghana Card has become the acceptable verification document for mobile connection.[1]
Hire Purchase: The Ghana Card is used in establishing a persons identity when making hire purchase arrangements as it contains their digital picture and biometric information that conclusively establishes their identity in addition to their personal and residential information.[1]
Insurance Claims: As a person needs to prove their identity in the event of any disaster for which they have to make insurance claims. The Ghana Card provides them with the necessary information they need to conclusively establish their identity.
Remittances from Abroad: As identity theft happens in many different ways: a thief obtains credit card receipts or bank statements from your wallet or trash; personal information is inadvertently provided over the phone or Internet; or other confidential information.[1] Before a person even realizes their personal information has been compromised, their credit and goods is claimed by fraudulent persons.[1] The use of the Ghana Card and PIN in claiming goods and monies sent from abroad has been designed to prevent unauthorized persons from claiming what is due to the Ghana Card holder
These benefits confirm with what PPP and NPP under Kufour seem to offered to Ghana.
WHY IS IT THAT A PARTY THAT CLAIMED TO BE "I CARE FOR YOU"," BETTER GHANA AGENDA","SOCIALIST PARTY",ETC DID NOT FINISHED THE GHANA CARD PROJECT IN 7 YEARS IN OFFICE??????????
IT WAS NOT LACK OF MONEY AND RESOURCES.HOW MUCH DID NDC GOVT PAID WOYOME,SUBA,SADA,CP CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER DUBIOUS AND UNEXISTED CONTRCTS AND CORRUPTION?
HOW MANY BILLIONS IN DOLLARS AND CEDIS LOANS HAS THIS NDC GOVT CONTRACTED AND DOES NOT SEE IT FIT TO COMPLETE GHANA CARD PROJECT IF THIS WILL BRING PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT TO GHANA?
DISCERNING AND PEACE LOVING GHANAIANS,THIS INCOMPETENT MAHAMA AND HIS NDC GOVT HAS CREATED ALL THIS CURRENT CONFUSION ABOUT NEW ELECTORAL REGISTER AND THEY DONT THINK ABOUT THE PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT OF MOTHER GHANA,BUT HOW THEY STAY IN POWER AND RIG ELECTIONS,PERIOD.

I am not the least surprised about the PPP statement because their leader has been and will continue to be an NPP poodle. He does no independent thinking but depends on the thoughts and leanings of others to support his belief. Just ask him why a new register and he will lean on the same NPP reasons. He is a " follow follow" leader
