In a radio interview with Kumasi based Angel FM, Prof Attafuah said he was focused on his mandate and would not be swayed by his detractors including party supporters.

He insisted that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has charged him to ensure that no party executives or party members were hired in the process at the National Identification Authority.

Speaking in Twi, Prof Attafuah said President Akufo-Addo's vision is for him to build a neutral public service and so he [Attafuah] was doing what the law permits.

He said the public needs to ensure political neutrality in public service.
