More than 50 vehicles are languishing at the headquarters of the National Identification Authority (NIA), revealed Citi News controls.
Vehicles registered in 2014 include 50 Nissan vans, three buses, three vans and a sedan-type vehicle.
In January of this year, when Citi News visited, hundreds of pickup trucks were in the hundreds.
In the meantime, the NIA has purchased new versions of the microphones for its operations.
The market price of one of Nissan's luxury vehicles is estimated at $ 25,000.
Although these vehicles were purchased by the previous administration, there is no indication that the current administration will handle them better, since one of the new cars has already been replaced by the old ones since Citi News saw it for the first time. times in January.
The National Identification Authority is responsible for conducting the nationwide registration exercise for the Ghana map; a free and instant multi-purpose national identity card for Ghanaians.
The launch of this project was initially faced with several setbacks due to logistical problems.
Exercise staff members also repeatedly threatened to abandon their positions due to deferred compensation.
The Authority refused to respond to the Citi News findings.
However, the questions remain; did the administrators of the Authority insure the old vehicles? Why did the directors of the Authority let the vehicles rot without proper maintenance?
Why were old vehicles not repaired and auctioned before the acquisition of the new ones? Who was punished for causing this financial loss to the state? Finally, how long will it take for the remaining new vehicles to suffer the same fate?
