The Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has declared his choice for the Ghana card over road interchanges in the country’s quest for development.
According to the Chairman of the Economic Management Team, the national identity card, also known as Ghana Card, is more beneficial than the numerous interchanges constructed across he country.
“We have implemented a national identification system and today we have 16 million Ghanaians with unique identities and that is a major transformation. And sometimes a lot of people don’t even appreciate what the impact of the Ghana Card is.
“But if you gave me 1,000 interchanges and a Ghana Card, I will choose the Ghana Card because it is more impactful,” he said on Thursday.
Touting the benefits of the Ghana Card, Dr Bawumia said the single act has simplified the implementation of digitisation and has assisted government in its fight to curb corruption.
