Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ghanaian Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has spoken for the first time about the Ghana Card – e-Passport saga, telling Ghanaian travellers to use their normal passport instead of Ghana Card for international travel.
Dr Mahamudu Bawumia stated, “As a result (of the Ghana Card), Ghana will be one of only a handful of countries where a national identification card also constitutes an e-passport, an illustration of the opportunities of digitization.
I will of course update citizens on developments concerning the activation of the e-passport feature, but discussions are positive.”
He added, “For the time being, I urge travellers to, as always, bring their passport and other forms of the required documentation with them.
Additionally, citizens should continue to apply for their own Ghana Card so that they can be part of this digital revolution.”
