If with the 8-hour economy, there are currently 40,000 unclaimed passports, how will a 24-hour economy improve this? Is it possible to improve the current system with an 8-hour economy?

If we invest in more machines, we can take biometrics and issue passports on the same day without the "go come" antics that encourage corruption and unclaimed passports.

What is the additional cost of a 24-hour economy? Note: The air-conditioners will have to work for 24-hours, 7 days a week.

Ablakwa, with technology, people can apply passport from their homes, and does it make sense to open passport offices around the clock just to prove a stupid point?

When Nkrumah was president, some sections of the economy was working around the clock, and it wasn't him who made it happen. Tell Ghanaians that you and your silly NDC goons with that stupid Mahama want to prove a useless point about something that does not make sense. Who in his/her right sense to go to passport office at midnight and apply for a passport than doing that online?

You are just going to pay people for doing absolutely nothing.

I thought you will talk about improving the strength of our passport and how Ghana can go to more countries visa free and 90 days entry
Free port and how you will unite Ghana and all ecowas countries to unite and become like the European Union making Ghana more a peaceful nation and strengthen ties with countries where we don’t have embassies opening more missions abroad
Reducing the number of diplomats in our missions because of waste
Bringing more embassies to Ghana and fostering stronger relations with the G7 and G20 countries
Compensations for Ghanaian that were liked in Gambia and many many things but listen to yourself
