Flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has revealed plans to implement E-Gates at Kotoka International Airport by the end of this year.
The Vice President stated that these E-Gates will be placed in the airport’s arrival section, allowing travelers to bypass immigration checks upon arrival.
Dr. Bawumia made this announcement during a meeting with the clergy in Cape Coast, as part of his Central Regional tour on Monday, June 3.
He highlighted the government’s dedication to digitizing state institutions to enhance accessibility for Ghanaians.
“In fact, before the end of this year if you arrive in Ghana at Kotoka Airport you don’t need to go to an immigration officer, we are putting together the E-gates, you put in your Ghana card it will open for you, and you pass and enter. The E-gates will work in Ghana before the end of this year,” he stated.
Furthermore, Dr. Bawumia conveyed his wish to engage in an “open and candid dialogue” with religious and faith-based institutions regarding school administration, particularly emphasizing discipline.
