Bawumia Credits Ghana Card for Eliminating Ghost Workers from Government Payroll

Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, also the Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has lauded the successful elimination of ghost workers from the government payroll, attributing this achievement to the integration of the Ghana Card into the country’s digital system.

In an audio clip shared by GHOne TV, Dr. Bawumia emphasized the pivotal role played by the Ghana Card in eradicating fraudulent practices within the government’s employment structure.

He expressed confidence in asserting that ghost names no longer appear on the government’s payroll, thanks to the implementation of the Ghana Card.

“So now, we can confidently say that because of the use of the Ghana Card, we don’t have ghost workers on government payroll anymore,” Dr. Bawumia affirmed.

While the exact context of Dr. Bawumia’s statement remains unclear, it underscores the significance of the Ghana Card as a primary identification document in the country.

The Ghana Card has emerged as a crucial tool in various sectors, facilitating streamlined processes and enhancing efficiency.

Furthermore, the Electoral Commission has proposed legislation to establish the Ghana Card as the sole document for citizenship identification during voter registration processes.

This move reflects the widespread recognition of the Ghana Card’s reliability and effectiveness in identity verification.
