Ghana Card: NIA officers busted for registering people at night at Awudome

Published

on

Some officers of the National Identification Authority (NIA) have been busted for allegedly registering people for the national identity card, Ghana Card at night.
They were reportedly busted at a private residence at Awudome, near the St Theresa Catholic Church in Accra on Tuesday night [May 7] at about 7:30 pm.

It was some residents of the area, who claimed that upon a tip-off, they pounced on the officers who were reportedly working outside of the approved working hours for the national exercise, which is being done in phases and started two weeks ago in Greater Accra.
The National Identification Authority (NIA) started the mass registration and Ghana Card issuance exercise in the Greater Accra Region from Monday, April 29, 2019, and expected to end on Saturday, July 6, 2019.

The region has been divided into two zones: Accra West and Accra East, where registration centres have been opened at specific locations.
The official working hours for the registration officers close at 5 pm.
The residents who pounced on the officers carried the registration machines to the Kaneshie Police Station to lodge a complaint.
The police together with the complainants later visited the house where the exercise was reportedly taking place as part of investigations.

When Graphic Online visited the Kaneshie Police station at 10:10 pm on Tuesday, the registration equipment including a laptop, a fingerprint machine, a camera, registration forms, some of which had been partly filled, a birth certificate, a passport, ID card (national health insurance card), a printer and other accessories were at the police station as exhibits.
The investigator handling the case was seen taking statements from some of the complainants.

Graphic Online observed that the laptop had been turned on and the software for registering, labeled on a page as “Identity Management System” had been launched and the page for capturing demographic data had been opened.
There were, however, no suspects in custody, according to the police.
The private residence from where the items were reportedly seized is near the St Theresa Catholic Church at Awudome where the NIA has set up an official registration centre, according to the complainants.

According to the complainants, they received information that, since the exercise started, the registration officers have been registering people at night.
So on Tuesday, three of them decided to “lay ambush” and spring a surprise on them and when they stormed the house where the exercise was taking place between 7 pm and 7:30 pm, they alleged they saw about 30 people waiting in a queue to be registered.

They subsequently disrupted the exercise, seized the registration equipment and reported the case at the Kaneshie Police station.
Police officers later accompanied them to the house to interview some of the people in the house, they alleged.
When Graphic Online visited the Kaneshie Police station, the complainants and other eyewitnesses numbering more than 20 were still at the police station at about 10:10 pm on Tuesday.
The investigator handling the case declined to comment and explained his senior officers were the ones to speak on the matter and that can only be done on Wednesday morning.
Efforts to immediately get a comment from the NIA was also not successful.

Known NPP man behind killings – Ken Agyapong reveals

Kennedy Agyapong has disclosed that a “big man” in the NPP is behind the killing of an unknown man. According to him, the man supported a “land guard,” Alhaji, to perpetrate the crime. He has therefore advised the NPP man to put a stop to that or else he would expose him The Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, in an appearance on Asempa TV, has alleged that a known big man in the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) was behind the murder and beheading of an unknown man whose body has been deposited at the morgue. According to him, one Kwesi Alhaji, a popular land guard, has the support and protection of the NPP man. He said law enforcement bodies could not take action against the gruesome murders committed with impunity by Alhaji because he is shielded by the NPP man.

According to MyNewshGh.com, Agyapong revealed that this Alhaji’s actions were getting out of hand, as he wasted no time in killing unsuspecting people who dared to resist his activities.”The activities of the ‘deadly’ land guard are quite distressing as he could just move into a house, show interest in the place, move all its occupants, demolish the structure, and take possession of the land,” he said. He added that the country needed to rise up because it was heading to a rather dead end as a result of happenings within it. However, Agyapong stated that during his meeting with some chiefs, the chiefs told him how close top police officials were to Alhaji.

He further disclosed he could sense fear in a policeman he called to talk about the issue, but he blatantly refused as he was afraid to lose his job if he meddled in the affairs of the “deadly” land guard. “Despite giving me assurance that nothing of that sort could happen, he still refused to talk to me,” Agyapong said. He therefore cautioned the “NPP man” to put an end to the support he was giving Alhaji or else he would expose him. He also added that his actions could bring stain to the NPP party and that the President, Nana Akufo-Addo, and other party stalwarts had really gone through a lot to get the party to where it is currently positioned.

Prophet Kumchacha Towers Towards Jubilee House

Published

By

The founder and leader of the Heaven’s Gate Ministries,  Prophet Nicholas Osei mostly known as Kumchacha, has formally declared his intent to contest in the 2024 presidential election on the ticket of the Kum People’s Party (KPP).

According to information gathered from close sources and his team, Prophet
Kumchacha did not just wake up to this fate but has thoroughly thought through it before moving into motion. Kumchacha who is known for his aggressive outbursts on social and political issues in the country deems himself fit for presidency because he believes he being a man of God with thousands of people under his care knows how best to manage the nation.

The man of God is said to have already assembled a team of able bodied men with intellect and drive who are ready to serve the country Ghana. Prophet Kumchacha promises a government that prioritizes the needs of the needy and less privileged.

His team furthered that, the prophet realising the fact that all past governments having abused the rule of law, and lying to power by playing with the intelligence of Ghanaians, he sees himself as the saviour to correct all the wrongs of the country now because he has all the clues and policies needed to reconstruct the nation.

 

His team also projected that team KPP led by Prophet Kumchacha believes partisanship is the major contributing factor of our woes as a country and the faster we ditch it, the better. They indicated that Ghana is underdeveloped because of bad leadership. They urged Ghanaians to do away with the politics of “NPP and NDC” and see their leader, Prophet Kumchacha as the alternative.

Kumchacha and his “Kum People’s Party” in their manifesto spelt out ten core objectives of revamping Ghana’s economy. Starting by focusing on unemployment, health, and women empowerment. They will then zoom into  the education, infrastructure and  sports sectors. Lastly they will hurdle the affairs of tourism and agriculture into betterness.

The source also mentioned that the “KPP” administration will work vigorously to implement policies that will take care of Ghanaians by creating employment for the youth.

Also, providing the health needs of the people would also be their outmost priority. He said if Prophet Kumchacha is elected president, his government will build well equipped general hospitals in all the 16 regions of Ghana to support the existing ones which are at times chocked.

The source, however, appealed to the people to consider him for the coveted office of the president based on his experiences and commitment to democratic norms.

The team then has assured Ghanaians that they are going to see more of KPP as they have readied their campaign song and fliers which they will release soon.
