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.

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.
I await your responses
