GHANA, A HOPELESS EXPLOITATIVE LEADERSHIP, HOPELESS BANKRUPT NATION IN THE MIDST OF PLENTY.

AFRICA WILL ALWAYS REMAIN HOPELESS AFRICA, THANKS TO THE SUCCESSION OF CLUELESS THIEVING LEADERS ONLY INTERESTED IN EASY, QUICK LOANS TO LOOT AND DUMP THE REPAYMENTS ON EQUALLY GULLIBLE PRIMITIVE CITIZENS.

THE WEALTHY TAX-FREE ARAB NATIONS OF THE UAE, QATAR, SAUDI ARABIA, KUWAIT, BAHRAIN AND OMAN WOULD BE HAVING A GOOD LAUGH AT BLACK AFRICA'S FREELOADING USELESS LAZY LEADERS.

GHANA MIGHT AS WELL COPY AND PASTE THE ECONOMIC MODELS OF THE TAX-FREE WEALTHY SHARIA-COMPLIANT SUCCESSFUL GULF ARAB NATIONS

Naomi you're just an BIG ANIMAL who don't know anything beyond your environment. There are hundreds of Ghanaians who misplaced their passport while in transit, but managed to come home with GhanaCard.We don't only go in for Visa just bcoz we want to travel to USA. If Donald is without people's Green Card what is American visa to us?

Ama, reverse your warped, twisted and jaundiced logic and tell me if they'll be able to undertake the reverse journey using their so-called Ghanacard E-passport. Using your Ghanacard as an identity document to return to your own country does not make it tantamount to a passport as you don't need a visa to come to your own country. Don't let Bawumia fool you!

@ Frankie.... are you stupid or just a backward evil minded person. Why can't some of you just for once be happy that something good has been achieved for the country for the benefit of all? Why does it always have to be negative comments and belittling what others have achieved which even your family members will benifit from? People with such mindset are known to be losers and have low self esteem. They have to put others down to make themselves feel better. You are pathetic.

Don't stray off from the argument. Tell me, is Ghanacard equal to a passport? What has Bawumia done that will benefit everyone that I'm not appreciating? Even in analogue times one can return to Ghana from any part of the world using a TC (TRAVEL CERTIFICATE) in the absence of a passport. Using Ghanacard to return to your own country is nothing special. It has always been there via a TC. @Ama, the issue is not about going to America or not. It's about the use of Ghanacard as a passport. Stay on ciurse. Don't let Bawumia fool you. A Ghanacard is NOT a passport.

What was the process for getting a TC? Has the Ghana Card not eliminated that time wasting process of getting a TC? Why will you want to keep doing the same backward way of doing things when the whole world is moving forward? Such mentality. Just finding an excuse to belittle what someone has achived and in the process expose your backward mindset. Secondly, for those who travel with a British passport to Ghana for example, no longer require a Ghana VISA in their British passport if you have a Ghana card. You just present your Ghana card with your British passport at the checkin counter and off you go. You can convince yourself he did nothing for you to benefit personally from. But anyone with a bit of enlightenment knows the Ghana card is a game changer which has reduced the numerous ID documents one needed to do business and I hope this Govt builds on what the previous Govt did with Ghana card. That is how to build a nation.

When we say, you can travel with your Ghana card we don’t mean you can use it to collect visa, America has passport card, but they don’t use it to apply for visa. You use your Ghana card as means of substitute especially when you are coming from anywhere in the world to Ghana and you don’t have your passport. The same thing as USA passport card. Nobody has ever stated in anywhere that you can use it to apply for visa.

Features of something doesn't make it an immediate reality. A person with Presidential features and attributes doesn't make him a president. Bawumia at the time did not say the passport had potential or features of a passport. He said THE GHANA CARD WAS A PASSPORT, and was being used as such by certain individuals.

You journalists must analyze your issues well before throwing useless stuff around on daily basis.

GhanaWeb jandam is alive a well. Maybe the e-passport function works in "some" African countries just like an Irish person only needs a driving licence to fly to UK. Those of you praising him should try to use a GhanaCard to travel to any country that requires a passport.

If you are traveling to a country outside of the ECOWAS region or a country that does not have an e-passport agreement with Ghana, you will need your physical passport.

The NIA boss is running ahead of himself. It could be a public relations hype but I don’t think that is how the NDC government approaches systems introduction . The fact that NIA need to be self sustaining financially does not mean they must engage in the roll out unchecked. How does this sit with BOG programs especially bitcoin and other electronic money roll outs
A committee would have to be formed or send the proposal to BOG SEC MoF. For evaluation and advice
A strong private led would be more sustainable with the growing Ghanaian Fintech also in contention. NIA can still get their share as the owners of the data.
