One significant stride the new NPP administration has made is to revive the implementation of a comprehensive national identification project.
The implementation of the project has stalled at various stages and one person whose action allegedly put the project on a sick bed was Dr. Kwadwo Afari Gyan.
The former Chairman of the Electoral Commission of Ghana, according to Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, was instrumental in opposing the implementation of the National Identification Project.
Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom has been directly involved in the implementation of the project at various stages.
As Minister for Economic Planning and Regional Cooperation during the erstwhile Kufour administration, Dr. Nduom claims he led the administration to put together a national economic dialogue which established that Ghana, needed a national identification system.
In an address on ATV’s flagship, 'Ghana, Great and Strong', the renowned politician noted that the nastiness with which Dr. Afari Gyan and the EC opposed the national project amazed him.
He explained that when the idea of having a national identification system for Ghana was put before stakeholders, the EC led by its former Chair, Dr. Afari Gyan, resisted it.
“He (Dr. Afari Gyan) didn’t do that in a nice way. He resisted it in a nasty way- quoting laws that only they (EC) had the right to set up such a system”, he said.

What? The creation of the Ghana Nation Citizen Identity Card falls within the domain of the EC Mr. Dr. Afari Gyan claimed? And Mr. Afari Gyan managed to have it his way? This is news! Whopping news to the nation! Where John Agyenim Agyekum Kufuor as the NPP chief executive administrator? This is unpardonable! The absence of this vital national citizen card in the possession of the Ghanaian paved the way for the aliens invited to participate in our electoral process having a field day in our economy emasculation! What did Dr. Afari Gyan study in the university, we want to know?
Dr Ndoum is the best
Dr Nduom I believe you and I'm surprised some of our people from the B/A are nasty and betrayed this country.(1)Boakye Djan, (2) Afari Djan (3)Asiedu Nketiah, (4)Eric Opoku, (5)Twumasi Appiah, (6)Cecilia Johnson, (7)Hannah Bissiw (8)Victoria Hammer etc I don't know if they don't realize their attitude is disgracing their region of all the 5 Akan regions it's like the B/A is found with her people with everything wrong in government especially in the ndc to the extent the Rawlings family would want the expulsion of Asiedu Nketiah in his party. Why are they finding themselves at the wrong side of the building of Ghana do they hate the nation Ghana or have some stones to grind with some people in Ghana so would like Ghana to move back instead of forward? I see everything wrong with these people in our nation building. Why,why are they doing that?
