Ghana Card: NIA responds to Ex-President Kufuor's comments

The National Identification Authority, NIA says it has taken note of suggestions by Former President Kufour on the exclusion of the voter’s ID card as one of the identity documents required to register for the Ghana Card.

The NIA in a statement said it has no intention to disenfranchise or denationalize any Ghanaian, saying the National Identity Register being compiled by the NIA is not a substitute for the Voter’s Register which the Electoral Commission alone is by law mandated to compile. 

The statement says the NIA is determined to ensure that every Ghanaian at home and abroad is duly registered and issued with the Ghana Card, while at the same time doing all in its power to protect the boundaries of Ghanaian citizenship and the accuracy and integrity of the National Identity Register as required by law.
