- ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LOGICAL IMPOSING GHANA CARD ON GHANAIANS - Bright Simons

Mr. Bright Simons has advised Ghanaians not to mince words about the imposition of the Ghana card as the sole ID for voter registration because there's nothing logical about it. 

he said " Let's not mince words here, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LOGICAL about the attempt to impose the Ghana Card as the sole ID for voter registration! The Opposition should continue to oppose it with every ounce of energy! The Electoral Commission won't respect reason only stamina."

He also said the Ghana Card is an enrichment scheme for a few elites. These people have hoodwinked the Ruling Party into believing its political fortunes depend on it. The NIA said the state's total contribution will be $124m. That the so-called PPP partner will fund the rest of the budget.

In 2020, a whopping 800 million GHS was budgeted for Ghana Card rollout. In 2022, more than GHS400m. More than $250m of state money has already been sunk. This is one of the world's most expensive ID Card schemes, sorry scams. Yet, govt is expected to pay $117m in arrears.

Bright Simon encouraged Mr. Speaker to show his mettle. he ask the speaker to show he is on the side of the vulnerable. He went on to advice Parliament to prevent that CI from being laid until

a) Passports & other valid proofs of citizenship are allowed;

b) any system acceptable for obtaining the Ghana Card is also made acceptable for voter registration.

He said in a post on Twitter.
