Saturday's biometric registration exercise started on a rather slow note at Kaneshie and its environs.

At the Kaneshie 1 and 4 Primary School, for instance, only six people had had their turn to register as at 12 noon.

Even out of the six, only three had got their cards.

Mr Albert Asatuni, Registration Officer at the station attributed it to technical challenges, and explained that officials were not very conversant with the machine, and could not log in easily in the morning.

“Even at 12 noon, the machine is still not working well, it keeps freezing”, he said.

Mr William Quartey, one of the people going to register, said he was there as early as o400 hours, but had not yet had his turn as at 12 noon.

He described the day as a very bad day and urged government to do all it could to improve the registration process.**
