Births and Deaths Registry clients have been left stranded for the previous three weeks as a result of the head office’s operations ceasing due to a lack of power supply.
According to a Citinewsroom story seen by GhanaWeb, the institution’s Central Registry has been unable to print and issue certificates for more than three weeks as a result of the power outage.
The Birth and Death Registry management claims that it is making every effort to guarantee that the facility’s power is restored.
“We have a power issue. First, it was a precautionary measure we were having by cutting down power to prevent anything untoward from happening. But it has retracted a little by now. They are working on it, trying to make sure that the light is resolved within the week,” the Public Relations Officer for the Registry, Adam Abdulai assured.
For services connected to births and deaths, the public has been urged to use the institution’s internet portal.
“This is a great opportunity for people to know that we have an online platform they can access, and you don’t need to come to any births and deaths registry office to start your process. All our services are online at https://www.ghana.gov.gh. Look for the births and deaths registry when you go there.
“I would want to inform the public that our services are best accessed at the district levels when people are born than to walk to the head offices,” the Public Relations Officer for the Births and Deaths Registry stated.
