Ho, July 16, GNA – Professor Kenneth Agyeman
Attafuah, Executive Director of the National Identification Authority (NNA)
called on Ghanaians to be avant-garde and champions of the protection of
limits of citizenship of the country.
He asked them not to take for granted
Ghana's citizenship and keep its holiness.
Professor Attafuah launched the call to a media
briefing as a prelude to the start of the mbad registration of
Ghanaians in the Volta region for the Ghana Card, in Ho.
"The free citizen does not exist in the world"
he added, talking about long residence, marrying a Ghanaian or respecting the laws of
Ghana did not make a stranger a Ghanaian and accused citizens of using
protest procedures to prevent non-Ghanaians from obtaining the Ghana Card.
Prof Attafuah said that the definition of a
Ghanaian was well defined in chapter three of the 1992 constitution and
should not be compromised on any fronts.
He said he helped a foreigner acquire the
Ghana Card was as criminal as falsifying documentation, information or guarantees
falsely, which were punishable by law.
Prof Attafuah said the recording
The exercise in the region would begin from July 22 to August 22 this year, with 350
registration centers, strictly reserved for Ghanaians residing in the 18
District Assemblies aged 15 and over, free of charge.
He urged Ghanaians, especially the media, to
report acts intended to compromise the conduct of the exercise at the Authority
and security agents to obtain redress.
"Report any request or donation of money from
candidates to us. Staff who commit such offenses will be punished according to
to the law, "said the executive director.
He said a genuine, valid birth certificate
Pbadport and Citizenship Acquired, Ghana Post Digital Residential Address Code
or two family members or registered community members can respond to requests from applicants under the age of
oath.
Mr. Attafuah says certified or regulated
agencies or persons traceable to the public service or the public service, practicing lawyers,
leaders, active or retired members of the clergy, men and women of security, members
Parliament, the members of the Assembly and the members of the commissions of unity could
candidates.
He said that there was no limit to the number of
people could vouch for, but said that the documents would be studied at
establish relationships between candidates and those who testify because,
"Longevity does not become a relationship."
Teacher. Attafuah was optimistic about the
proverbial Volta hospitality would be granted to the team for a successful
exercise having gained experiences from learning curves in the Accra exercise.
The Ghana Card is a dual interface chip
map with world-clbad technical system, making it a pbadport for ECOWAS
country, with tactile features for the visually impaired.
It is valid for ten years and could be
changed or renewed for a fee.
