Incoming Administration Must Revive NIA - Paa Kow Ackon

The Communications Director of the Progressive people’s party (PPP) Paa Kow Ackon has charged president-elect Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo to fulfil his promise of making the National Identification card system workable by the end of 2017.

Speaking on ATV news analysis program ‘KANAWU’ in Accra, he said the PPP believes that the mandatory use of the resultant national identification number by all citizens from birth until death, will help greatly to bring about greater discipline into all aspects of our national lives.

“All areas; banking, broadening the national revenue base, criminal justice, voters registration and all others will benefit from the implementation of the national identification system”, he explained.

He added that the PPP is looking forward to see the incoming administration provide adequate financial, human and technical support to the national identification authority so that works can be completed by the end of 2017.
