Three communities in Awutu mssing in
Identification Exercise
Awutu Bontrase(C/R), July 22, Ghanadot/GNA— With less than
24 hours to the closing of the National Identification
Programme in the Central Region, residents of three
communities near Awutu Bontrase have not yet been
registered.
The communities are Lotom, Awutu Akweley, and Awutu Kwei.
The Assembly Member for the Area, Mr. Daniel Asomani and the
PTA chairman, Mr. Kofi Atwum disclosed this to the Ghana
News Agency in separate telephone interviews at Winneba on
Tuesday.
According to them, the one Mobile Registration Workplace
Machine allocated for the five communities, Nfa Adwene,
Olotom, Bontrase, Awutu Kwei and Awutu Akweley broke down
after a few days at Nfa Adwene and Bontrase.
They said as a result it was sent for repairs and has not
been returned to the area to continue with the programme.
According to the two, residents queued for each day with the
anticipation that the machine would be brought for them to
register.
They said following the absence of the data collecting
machine, officials filling the forms had also suspended
work, because they claimed that filling the forms without
taking the pictures and data collection would mean nothing.
They have therefore appealed to the Authorities of the
National Identification Programme to either extend the
registration period or make a special arrangement for the
people in the area to get registered.
“Anything apart from this would leave a number of people of
the area unregistered in the exercise”.
The Assembly Member told the Ghana News Agency that the
District Chief Executive for the Area, Mr. Solomon Abbam
Quaye had been informed of the situation.
