Some residents at Ntankorful and Kansasorodo in the Sekondi-Takoradi metropolis of the Western Region have expressed anger at the turn of events over the Ghana Card Registration.

According to the aggrieved residents, officials from the National Identification Authority (NIA) embarked upon the exercise three weeks ago to capture their demographic data and their photographs and were told to come the following week for their Ghana Cards.

However, they never heard anything from the NIA officials until yesterday, Tuesday, February 25, 2020 when a notice was served that their Ghana cards were ready for collection.

According to the NIA officials, the sharing of the Ghana Cards would close at 5pm yesterday for residents in the communities and extend the exercise to teachers and students of the Methodist Senior High School at Kansasorodo which was originally chosen as a center for the registration.

As a result, most of the residents who went to the Ntankorful Roman Catholic Church center could not get their Ghana Cards including some teachers and students who were registered the same period.

Out of anger and frustration of joining a longer queue, most of them who spoke to this reporter, Daniel Kaku were no longer interested in the Ghana cards due the posture of the NIA officials who could not explain further why their Cards we're not given to them and where they could get their cards.

According to the residents I spoke to if the Ghana Card is to be used to vote in future elections, majority of the electorates will be disenfranchised.

They, however, appealed to the NIA boss to intervene to ensure sanity in its operations with the Ghana Card.

A teacher at the Methodist Senior High School who could not get his Ghana Card as most of his colleague teachers got theirs, was not happy and decided to abandon the idea of chasing their cards.
