I will choose Ghana card over 1,000 interchanges - Bawumia

Meanwhile, Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia on Thursday stirred controversy with some comments he made during a lecture, one of them being that he would choose the Ghana Card over 1,000 interchanges.

In the vice president's attempt to get Ghanaians to buy into the national digitalisation drive he is leading, he said a successful national ID system like the Ghana Card was better than some physical infrastructure. He said a national ID system was a major vehicle for rapid transformation.

"Today, we have 16 million Ghanaians with unique identities, and that is a major transformation. A lot of people sometimes do not appreciate its impact…If you gave me 1,000 interchanges and the Ghana card, I would choose the Ghana card because it has more impact," he said.
