  The issue of E- Technology in our democratic systems and processes is quite welcome. Not only should it apply to our political landscape but all facets of the economy to ensure information dissemination and growth in all aspects.
  
  Care should be taken in exploring the loopholes such systems. The contraction of IT personnel from South Africa and Israel by the NDC to massage the election results before transmitting to you electoral commission was a catalyst for disaster and could have brought the country to its knees if the electronic system has not been stopped by the EC. Nonetheless, we've got to look a all the positive aspects that E - Technology offer in this information age. Kudos Prof Amofa.

  In the midst of squalor,disease,poor housing,lack of good drinking water and inadequate sanitation, this good -for-nothing Ph.D holder thinks it is more prudent for our poor nation to use our meagre resources in building up Hitler-like idea of ID cards. There are 15 million people in the Ivory Coast without access to electricity yet they do have state sponsored ID Cards. How does that improve their quality of life? My Octogenarian mother needs an ID card like a hole-in-the head. Why on earth does the poor cocoa farmer in rural Ghana needs a credit score for when his/her access to water is the nearby stream that gives him/her nothing but water-borne diseases?

  Koo Nsia,
  When you look at the issue from your ignorant and rural point of view it does not make sense. An appointed minister with poor credit scores is a red flag and recipe for corruption to happen.

  Your comment is of as much use to the ordinary Ghanaian as a "condom with a hole in it". The rich always exploit the poor to get richer. The "hand of prudence" is a maxim which is beyond your comprehension!
