“Since around August last year, we have had financial difficulties in the system and created a situation even though we have 3.5 million card stock in our bonded warehouse, we cannot evaluate the cards due to financial difficulties,”
As an assurance, Prof. Attafuah has indicated that the government has written off some debts and some cards will be released to be printed for registered Ghanaians.
This comes after questions were raised by the Minority in Parliament about the inability of all eligible Ghanaians to get their cards in time for registration.
Meanwhile, the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC), is said to have proposed a new Constitutional Instrument (CI) to make the Ghana Card the only proof document for registration ahead of the 2024 elections.
