National Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has asked President Akufo-Addo to ensure that his appointees adhere to his directives on the outbreak of coronavirus.

According to him, the President cannot put a ban on public gathering yet the National Identification Authority (NIA) will decide to have their own way. 

"It is sad that government appointees are breaching the President’s directives. The President says avoid public gathering but the NIA says no. What is urgent about the Ghana card? What will happen if the registration is suspended . . . The President must act because Ken Attafuah is not above the law. This is unacceptable; I don’t see how anybody who cares about life will defend this," he said this during a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Wednesday.





Background

The NIA said it will continue with the Ghana Card registration despite the President's ban on public gatherings.

The Authority rather released guidelines for its officers to adhere to.
