URSULA BLAMES NDC FOR SABOTAGING GHANA CARD
December 7, 2022
Facebook
Twitter

WhatsApp
Ursula Owusu-Ekuful
MINISTER OF Communications and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has asked
National Democratic Congress (NDC) lawmakers to pipe down on their criticism of
the government for not issuing Ghana Cards to every citizen, asserting that they
are partly to be blamed.
According to her, the opposition NDC and their MPs waged a nationwide campaign
against the registration exercise, by urging their members and Ghanaians to
boycott it, explaining that this also accounted for the number of the citizens
without the Ghana Card.
The government, in 2017, introduced electronic chip-based national
identification known as Ghana Card to be the primary identification document for
the country.
The opposition NDC politicians, according to Mrs. Owusu-Ekuful, sabotaged the
registration, while decrying the exclusion of voters’ cards as registration
documents.
The Minister for Communications told Parliament yesterday that, “It is
absolutely imperative we be factual as Members of this House when we are making
our statements because this is a House of records.”
“Yes, you were opposed to the Ghana Card registration exercise. You urged
Ghanaians and your members to boycott the exercise. Some of them did and the
result is that they do not have the Ghana Card today to complete this national
exercise.
“If some blame needs to be assigned, you are part of the blame for going down
that path which unfortunately is causing certain Ghanaians some discomfort,” she
noted.
The minister was responding to accusation by the Ranking Member of the
Communications Committee, Alhassan Bashir Alhassan Fuseini, that she was
implementing a bad policy by deactivating unregistered SIM cards.
The Ministry of Communications and Digitalisation had warned that all
unregistered SIM cards would be deactivated at the end of November, an extension
to the previously announced deadline of the end of October.
All SIM cards which have completed the first stage of the registration exercise
but not the second phase are being blocked from accessing data services after
the deadline, and these are due for complete deactivation.
The minister said, “Now, what we need to do is to see how we will work together
to facilitate the acquisition of the card so that this exercise will be
completed or make alternative arrangements for this exercise to be completed.”
“It is also a fact the National Identity Register Regulation indicates that for
SIM card registration, the only identity document which will be acceptable for
SIM card registration among other transactions is the Ghana Card.
“By a subsidiary legislation which was brought to this House and passed, we
accepted that we will only use the Ghana Card for SIM registration. It is not
Ursula Owusu-Ekuful who made that law; it is the Parliament of Ghana which
passed the subsidiary legislation,” she argued.
She pointed out that the NDC, led by its General Secretary, issued a public
statement, urging Ghanaians to boycott the Ghana Card registration exercise.
“Are you not NDC MPs; are you denying your own party position now? If you repent
of that position, say so and let Ghanaians know that, that the position you took
three, four years ago, you have now come back to full circle,” she chided.
She continued, “On the floor of this House, they also indicated that they were
not going to participate in the Ghana Card registration, including Muntaka. They
said they were all doctored cards.”
The minister added that when the National Identification Authority came to set
up in Parliament to register MPs, the NDC parliamentarians refused to take part.
Majority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, also corroborated the minister’s
account, saying, “I read in the media of news attributable to your side that you
were against the registration of the Ghana Card. Speaker, for my colleague to
say that the minister has implemented bad policy, he is forgetting that we
passed the law.”
He added, “It was not a single action by the minister. Continuously, the
ministry kept giving information to the public on deadlines. You should have
also supported the campaign and this is what the minister is saying.”
“We should all be patriotic; you should have shown true patriotism by telling
the Ghanaian people to participate in the national exercise. You failed to do
that. Today, you are crying and throwing your hands up. You failed to be
patriotic,” he scorned.
