The Executive Secretary of the National Identification Authority (NIA), Prof. Kenneth Agyemang Attafuah, has disclosed why some people have still not received their Ghana cards after registration.
According to him, over 15.7 million Ghanaians current have received their Ghana cards,
Prof. Attafuah said about 15,702,719 cards have been issued whereas some 808,493 cards have been printed but not issued.
He, however, noted that the reason why some people have still not received their cards is that some of them have double registered and there are some whose cards have gone into adjudication because they have tried to change their vital data in the custody of the authority, such as bio-data.
“There are people who have double-registered. That is potentially a criminal offense. Those are being individually investigated. There are those whose cards have gone into adjudication, not because of double registration but because they have sought to change their vital data in the custody of the authority, such as bio-data. For such people, the system arrests their application, and it joins a queue.” He noted.
He said that until such issues are rectified, the registrants can not get their cards.
