We have heard a lot about the proposed National ID program and we all think it is a great idea and very much needed.But when are they actually going to bring it out instead of just talking about it.We know it won't be perfect coming out but that is okay.We can work on it as we move forward.The greatest countries in Identification and data collection in the world Germany and Japan have both said they are willing to help us in this field so what are we waiting for???????

AUTHOR: ADIJAH --------- 1, The NDC thought they could buy votes with their stolen moneys. They bribed chiefs and others with vehicles, houses, mattresses etc but the folks took the bribes and looked the other way. 2. Also they felt they had Charlotte on their side to call the election for them but Charlotte found out that the tsunami was too overwhelming to present any lies. 3. The NPP outsmarted them by having a well planned and executed collation center. In conjunction with the many radio stations and media houses also broadcasting results in realtime it was difficult for EC to massage the numbers. You could tell from the body language of the EC office during their press conference during the night that they had been outwitted. The government should insist on a root cause analysis of the breakdown at the EC and publish the report.

The National Identification exercise will only facilitate processes and reduce the propensity for FRAUD.

It does NOT replace or do away with the Human element which is the ACTUATOR of Corrupt Acts.

National ID was started by the previous gov't. Baumia, just acknowledge you are completing a project rather than create the false impression it is your creation.

Kuffour started this program of National Identity for the use at elections.Mills tried to stop it because he thought it was NPP tool .He eventually saw the vital need for it and proposed biometric measures for authentification.Mahama implemented the biometric part but it uses was still limited to elections.What this administration is trying to do is something unprecedented.For the first time Ghana will have the from womb to Tomb id system just like Germany Japan and UK.It will document each Ghanaian from womb to tomb.National ID cards,Birth Certs,School Certs,Alien cards,Work permits,Drivers license,Passports,Trade and Professional Certificates,Death Certificates and any type of official identification will be sourced and managed from one data bank and one department.This will allow the government not only identify citizens but also foreign residents in our country.Uses for data collected from this bank is really limitless.We need the government to roll out the program and stop the endless chatter about it.

There are too many fake identifications in the Ghanaian system. Each and everyday - you hear an incidence of adoption or robbery in Ghana - but the government can't fight these menace unless we are able adopt an authentic identification process - which can give our law enforcement agencies the ability to process and establish a true identification of prospective criminals as soon as they are apprehended. No country can set itself on the path of Socio Economic development without a database which could be used to track and establish the identity of its citizenry. Our current system makes it even harder, to track and flush out drivers who are not supposed to be on our roads, e.g. When their licenses are revoked or suspended due to a reckless driving or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. How can we establish a safe driving system and also eliminate the numerous cases of accidents on our roads, which takes the life of our citizens prematurely?

When Jake Obetsebi Lamptey, the man who packaged John “50 Cents” Agyekum Kufuor and thrust him upon unsuspecting Ghanaians, opened his mouth at Kasoa and said that Akufo-Addo and Rebecca Akufo-Addo (nee Griffiths Randolph), are happily married with five children, Jake was doing none other than telling a big fat lie.
Jake, the master liar, and the architect of a most of the lies that the NPP throws about, used his usual “pataapa” tactics to lie, in a desperate attempt to shore up the dwarfish image of William Nana Kofi Akufo-Addo aka Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Akufo-Addo, unable to respond personally to the plethora of allegations doing the rounds as regards his addiction to hard drugs and related matters, got certificateless Jake to attempt to place a damper on the tarnished image of the NPP’s questionable flagbearer. In the process, certificateless Jake has stirred the hornets’ nest, and created more problems for Akufo-Addo.
Nana Biakoye is not prepared to allow Jake to get away with his untruths, so I set about to do some searching and some very startling revelations have come up.
The records have it that Akufo-Addo and Rebecca Akufo-Addo have no child between the two of them.
Akufo-Addo had four daughters, from three women before marrying Rebecca Akufo-Addo; and Rebecca had a daughter before marrying Akufo-Addo.
The NPP, especially, certificateless Jake Obetsebi Lamptey (whose father, in the 60’s, used his Bawaleshi base to distribute bombs to the likes of, I. C “ya ye onye” Quaye, Malam Tula, and co, to detonate at CPP rallies), would have us believe that Akufo-Addo and Rebecca Akufo-Addo, are happily married with five children.
It is a fact that when Akufo-Addo brings his kids to the table and Rebecca beings her daughter to the table, five children can counted.
But the truth of the matter is that, between Akufo-Addo and Rebecca, they have no issue.
Akufo-Addo and Rebecca Akufo-Addo (nee Griffiths Randolph) don’t have a child between them that they can call their own and that is a matter of fact.
Akufo-Addo, whose baptismal name is, William (named after William Ofori-Atta) Nana Kofi Akufo-Addo, had his first daughter with a certain Virginia Hesse, during his university days.
Casanova Akufo-Addo, who has never hidden his bonking agenda, bonked Virginia Hesse, during his university days, and had his first daughter.
Of course, whiles bonking Virginia Hesse, orange sellers, kenkey sellers, and other females from Bawaleshie were not spared Akufo-Addo’s “rod”.
William Akufo-Addo then turned his radar on a Nigerian lady called, Remi, with whom he had two daughters (twins).
The records have it that William Akufo-Addo, was such a wife beater that Remi run away with her two daughters to London, where, they lived on “dole” (unemployment benefit).
According to our investigations, Akufo-Addo was a father who did not take care of his daughters for a long time and only reconciled with them when he realized that they could cause him his political career if he did not make peace with them.
According to the records, because of the way Akufo-Addo allegedly molested Remi, she lost all liking for men, and is alleged to have taking to loving women.
After Remi, Akufo-Addo married another woman, with whom he had another daughter.
As the records have it, the woman is no longer on earth; she departed to the land of the ancestors a couple of years ago. The deceased was called, Eleanor Nkansah Dwamena alias Obaa Yaa.
The records have it that she too was at the receiving end of Akufo-Addo’s alleged wife beatings.
The records also allege that Akufo-Addo introduced the lady to drugs and it was after both of them got stoned, that Akufo-Addo would unleash his bestiality on the woman.
Akufo-Addo married Rebecca Griffiths Randolph after the death of his wife.
Rebecca Akufo-Addo has a daughter known as Valerie Hutton Mills.
Valerie Hutton Mills’ father is, Chappie Hutton Mills.
Chappie Hutton Mills is related to Rebecca Akufo-Addo by blood and so the sexual relationship between Chappie Hutton Mills and Rebecca Akufo-Addo which resulted in the birth of Valerie Hutton Mills, was nothing but an incestuous one.
Indeed, Rebecca Akufo-Addo was one of the maids of honour at the wedding of her uncle Chappie Hutton Mills when he was marrying Lucy Banson. Lucy Banson’s best friend at the time was a certain Matilda Griffith Randolph.
Matilda, who is now known as Matilda Spencer (married to Towis Spencer, formerly a Ghana Airways Captain), is the elder sister of Rebecca Akufo-Addo.
Indeed, Rebecca got to know Lucy Banson through her elder sister Matilda, and that is how Rebecca got to be one of Lucy’s maids of honour.
Rebecca, whiles being a maid of honour, must have decided to put asunder what God put together and went ahead to bed her uncle Chappie and broke the heart of Lucy Banson.
From my investigations, the Huton Mills family got so incensed with the immoral and incestuous relationship between Rebecca and Chappie, such that Rebecca was hooted out of Ghana; which led to her relocating to London.
As to what Rebecca did in London and Europe for a living, before joining other like-minded women to form the infamous “Hollywood Wives” Association of Ghana, the details will come out in the subsequent reports that will come out to destroy the lies that Jake Obetsebi Lamptey bandied at Kasoa.
So, when certificateless Jake Obetsebi Lamptey mounted the platform and used “takashie” to try and package Akufo-Addo and Rebecca Akufo-Addo as some saintly happily married couple with five children, Jake was doing nothing but trying to tell Ghanaians to start calling black, white.
In 2000, certificateless Jake succeeded in packaging Kufuor and sold him as a credible character and Ghanaians found out rather too late that Kufuor does not have an iota of credibility and from goings-on, Jake shall never be forgiven for hanging such a heavy “50 cents” albatross around the neck of the nation.
It is quite obvious that this time around, certificateless Jake shall not be allowed to package Akufo-Addo and his wife and sell them to the unsuspecting Ghanaian electorate.
Only God will be able to save Ghana if it is the case that we have a junkie as a president and have a First Lady who believes in incestuous relationships. With Akufo-Addo and his wife as President and First Lady of Kwame Nkrumah’s Ghana, biblical Sodom and Gomorrah will pale into insignificance.
Whether certificateless Jake was “toasted” (apologies to Kofi Wayo), before reaching the Kasoa rally; hence the lies he told, is a subject that will be tackled when I expose further all the lies Jake told at the Kasoa rally.

Do you know the history of John Mahama and his wife Lodina or you've just chosen to ignore the history of the Holland based call girl and the Casanova Mahama who had fathered 19 children before he turned 50 years, in this modern day when Rawlings recently advised against having too many children. How many of Mahama 19 children are known to the public. If Mahama wasn't a swindler, why did he choose to hide his other numerous children? The Reality is that Nana Akuffo- Addo and his wife are happily married, they are incorruptible, well respected and are not engaged in any dubious activities and payola like what Mahama et aux, did in the case of DKM, Opuni Gates and the uncountable criminal activities that engulfed the presidency of John Cribo Mahama et aux! Come again, I'm ready to march you word by word on this platform.

A very critical agency that has been left out from those mentioned in this article is the Births and Deaths Registry. That department must be an absolute integral part of the National ID program, and a mechanism should be in place for that data capture, in every nook and cranny of this country where a woman of child-bearing age is found.
Failure to have that critical agency in the overall National ID program is a program dead on arrival.

Once the lNational ID exercise is completed data from the National Identification Authority must be the basis for the compilation of a new Voters Register. The old over-bloated Voters Register must be discarded, and the EC must not be allowed to go around the country compiling the names of minors and foreigners for a new register. The new Voters Register must be compiled from data provided by the National Identification Authority.
