At least, only 15,826,148 Ghana Cards out of the 16,627,325 printed cards from 17,109,627 registrations as of the end of August\u00a0 2022, have been issued with the Ghana Card, the National Identification Authority (NIA) confirmed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the Authority, 1,283,479 cards remain uncollected, for various reasons, including some needing updates, people unable to locate their collection points, while others are also not showing up to collect them because they \u201cfeel they have no need for them now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Executive Secretary of the NIA, Professor Kenneth Agyeman Attafuah, disclosed this at a press briefing in Accra last Friday,.<\/p>\n

He said while his outfit admits that there were some challenges with the issuance of the cards, it could not be blamed solely if some people did not have their cards yet.<\/p>\n

Some Ghanaians, he explained had failed to take advantage of the various opportunities for them to go for their cards at the decentralized levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe still have some cards issued during the mass registration exercises in 2020. I was in Koforidua about three months ago on a monitoring exercise. I called someone whose card was ready to come for it. That person said it was not time for the collection of cards and that he would come for it when he had a need for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome Ghanaians are even making the demand to be given money before they will go for their cards,\u201d he said and cited an incident that happened at Akim Oda where a woman had asked for money before she would go for her card.<\/p>\n

Those challenges notwithstanding, Prof. Attafuah gave an assurance that the NIA would ensure that all people who had registered were able to go for their cards, since the cards had already been printed at a cost.<\/p>\n

Prof. Attafuah said the NIA was working around the clock to ensure that the cards were issued, noting that at the moment people who had registered but did not have their Ghana cards yet could still be verified, when need be, as remarkable progress had been made with the data harmonisation effort.<\/p>\n

He enoted \u00a0that with a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the NIA and the various outfits over data harmonisation and use, all the agencies requiring the Ghana Card as the only means of ID for business transaction \u2014 the Bank of Ghana (BoG) and 24 universal banks, as well as mobile network operators \u2014 had been successfully connected to the NIA\u2019s verification system platform following the process, so once they had that system, verification was possible and easy.<\/p>\n

Between 2018 and 2022, the NIA has executed an MoU for the delivery of data harmonisation and integration services with the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), the Students Loan Trust, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority, the BoG, the ARB Apex Bank, the 24 universal or commercial banks in the country, as well as Airtel\/Tigo, MTN, Vodafone and GLO.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NIA has completed data harmonisation and transfer of data sets to the following institutions following the execution of MoUs with them \u2014 the GRA: 15,797,860 data sets transferred; SSNIT: 15,412,055 data sets transferred; NHIA: 15,317,256 data sets transferred; Airtel\/Tigo: 1,766,546 data sets transferred; MTN: 11,524,584 data sets transferred; Vodafone: 10,340,802 data sets transferred, and GLO: 142,215 data sets transferred.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt must, therefore, be appreciated that Ghanaians who have registered but have not yet been issued their Ghana cards can still be verified by the banks and the telecommunication companies if the verification devices specified by the NIA are available at these facilities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Unlike the initial identity card that was issued between 2008 and 2017, the Ghana Card currently being issued, Prof. Attafuah said, was a digitalised source of identity, aimed at ensuring that the country had a single source of truth in identity management activities.<\/p>\n

That, he indicated, would help sanitise the ecosystem when it came to self-identification and group identification.<\/p>\n

Our robust national identification system will ensure that there are no debates, arguments and contestations about who you are in terms of your age and citizenship.\u201cSo questions about electoral conflicts, issues about disputes, voting rights and entitlements and all those things will and should soon become things of the past,\u201d he said.He said the card was a dual interface smart biometric ID card with multiple functionalities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe security features are legendary, and it is one of the best cards you can find anywhere in the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Prof. Attafuah advised citizens who wished to register for the card to book appointments before visiting the registration centres to facilitate fast and easy registration processes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who show up without appointment, no matter how willing they are to pay and show up without appointment at 4 a.m., may encounter people who have appointments from eight o\u2019clock and, therefore, may spend hours at the office,\u201d he said.Non-citizens\u2019 cardsWith regard to the non-citizen national identity cards issued to foreigners legally resident in Ghana, Prof. Attafuah said so far 161,007 had been issued to people from 202 countries.Of the number, Chinese residents had the highest number of 34,712 cards being issued to them, representing 22 per cent of the total number of foreigners who had been issued with the cards, he said.<\/p>\n

The NIA Executive Secretary said Nigerians were second, with 25,873 cards, followed by Indians with 20,110 cards.<\/p>\n

\u201cGermans constitute 4,329; Lebanese, 4,324; United Kingdom, 4,133; South Africans, 3,194; Ivorians, 2,150, and Gabonese, 1,958 cards,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He could, however, not tell why Chinese topped the list of non-citizens registration, as reasons for being in the country and applying for the Ghana Card were not a criteria for registration.<\/p>\n

He was quick to add that in dealing with matters like that, it was important to be careful not to single out a particular country and interrogate its citizens, as it could end in xenophobia.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wouldn\u2019t be pleasant if you\u2019re interrogated and treated differently from other countries because of the country you come from and some things some of your citizens have done,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The NIA Executive Secretary gave an assurance that the authority had a robust system to verify all cards of citizens for the purpose of transacting businesses with banks and verify non-citizens who would use the card to apply for or renew their residence permits, open or run bank accounts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to provide, as we have done since 2012, for all foreigners lawfully resident in this country to register under the foreigner identification management system project for the non-citizen identity card which, by law, they are required to register for,\u201d Prof. Attafuah said.<\/p>\n
