$1.2b for Ghana card is 'fraud'; give me only $50m and I’ll deliver - Ken Agyapong

If many Ghanaians expressed reservation about the figure of $1.2 billion for the Ghana Card in their rooms and in silence, that will not include Mr Kennedy Agyapong, New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Assin Central, who MyNewsGh.com can confirm has lashed out at the "fraud" being perpetrated by Prof Ken Attafuah, head of National Identification Authority (NIA) on the project when an amount of 50 million dollars could be used to execute the same job. 

“Are we crazy? 1.2 Billion DOLLARS for Ghana Card? Are you out of your mind? Are we crazy? This is thievery. They are disgracing Akufo-Addo and it really pains me. Are we crazy in this country? I speak for Ghana, I don In India, their population is 1.2 billion people and they used the same amount for a similar project. Ghana we are “A poor country like Ghana?” 

The above, MyNewsGh.com can confirm, are just a few of the words of Honourable Kennedy Agyapong, NPP MP for Assin Central who is angry about the decision by the government to use 1.2 billion dollars for the National Identification Project (Ghana Card). Read on to know what more he said regarding the deal. 

Weeks ago, it was reported that Ghana’s National Identification Card, the Ghana Card procured by the National Identification Authority (NIA) costs the country $1.22 billion dollars (or GhC5.5 billion cedis) over a 15 year period, as MyNewsGh.com reported. 

This figure came from the Executive Director of the NIA, Prof Ken Attafuah himself, who was speaking to TV3 on the registration exercise, which was to begin yesterday, but failed to take off.
