Approximately 15.7million Ghanaians have received their Ghana cards, the executive secretary of the National Identification Authority, prof Kenneth Agyapong Attafuah has disclosed.
Prof. Attafuah said information gathered to him reveals that 16,969,034 persons have registered for the Ghana card, with about 16,535,623 cards printed as of today. Prof. Attafuah further said that about 15,702,719 cards have been issued whereas some 808,493 cards have been printed but not issued yet.
He also stated multiple reasons why some people who registered but have not been issued with their cards yet. “ There are people who have not been issued with their cards yet.
“There are people who have double- registered. That is potentially a criminal offense. Those ones are being individually investigated. There are those whose cards are gone into adjudication, not because of double registration but because they have sought to change their vital data in the custody of the authority, and it joins a queue.
For such people, the system arrests their application, and it joins a queue”. For such people until the outstanding issues are rectified, they can’t receive their cards, he added
