“Since around August last year, we have experienced financial constraints in the system and this has created a situation where we are unable to evaluate the cards due to financial constraints, despite having stocks of 3.5 million cards in the bonded warehouse”
In hope, Prof Attafua indicated that the government has cleared some debt and some cards will soon be released for printing to registered Ghanaians.
This comes in the wake of questions raised by the Minority in Parliament over the inability of all eligible Ghanaians to get their cards in time for registration.
Meanwhile, the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) is said to have proposed a new Constitutional Instrument (CI) to have a Ghana Card as the sole document of proof for registration ahead of the 2024 elections.
