The Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has declared that the government’s payroll is now free from ghost names.
He attributed this achievement to the integration of the Ghana Card into the national digital system.
In an audio excerpt circulated on GHOne TV, Dr. Bawumia, also serving as the country’s Vice President, confidently asserted that the absence of ghost workers on the government payroll is directly linked to the utilization of the Ghana Card.
“So now, we can confidently say that because of the use of the Ghana Card, we don’t have ghost workers on government payroll anymore,” he stated.
While the exact context of his statement remains unclear, it’s noteworthy that the Ghana Card has emerged as the primary identification card in the nation.
Furthermore, the Electoral Commission has signaled its intent to reintroduce a bill in parliament, advocating for the Ghana Card to serve as the sole document for citizenship identification during voter registration.
