We never said Foreign Matters Ministry isn’t aware GhanaCard is now an e-passport – Dep. Minister

The particular Deputy Foreign Affairs Ressortchef (umgangssprachlich) Kwaku Ampratwum Sarpong provides refuted media reports recommending that the Foreign Affairs Ministry has no idea the GhanaCard is now an e-passport. A written report by a news portal associated with Media General 3news. possuindo published on other systems suggesting that the Minister got indicated in an interview the fact that Ministry of Foreign Matters had no idea of the information that the Ghana Card have been accepted as an e-passport. Yet reacting to the story, the particular Deputy Foreign Affairs Ressortchef (umgangssprachlich) indicated that the claims had been false. According to him, he or she did not deny knowledge of the particular Ghana Card being an e-passport but rather indicated that the task was under the office from the Vice President and a much better explanation would be given when the office is contacted. This individual expressed shock that the information portal could twist exactly what he said for factors best known to them. The Worldwide Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has given its press for Ghana’s national identification card, Ghana Card, to become recognized globally as a legitimate e-passport. Thus, holders from the Ghana Card and its long term biometric equivalents can existing it as official documents at all 197 (ICAO) up to date countries and 44, 1000 airports worldwide and plank flights to Ghana. This particular follows a “Key Ceremony” on Wednesday, February nine, 2022, at the headquarters associated with ICAO in Montreal, North america, during which Ghana, represented from the High Commissioner to Europe, Ransford Sowah, received the particular ‘key’ to indicate the country’s entry into the ICAO household symbolically. The ICAO announcement follows an earlier hint, provided in November 2021 with the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, that Ghanaians all over the world would soon be able to take a trip back home using their Ghana credit cards. Read His Statement BelowRe: GHANA CARD NOW E-PASSPORTMy attention has been drawn to a job interview I granted Akoma Fm on Thursday morning which usually seeks to claim We stated that the Ministry associated with Foreign Affairs has no understanding of the Project to change Ghana card to a traveling document or an e-passport. For the records, at simply no stage of the interview do I say that. Whoever is definitely behind that story has been mischievous or can’t convert the twi language in order to good English. In fact during the interview, I did point out that the Ministry of International Affairs is aware of the Task. This project however , has been initiated and being maintained by the office of the Vice President and not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Therefore, it is difficult for me to be the individual to give better and further facts. At best it’s the Veep’s office where the project supervisors are based. At simply no point did I refuse knowledge of the project. I actually plead with those of you that have elected to go to town having an inverted story to generously locate and listen to the particular interview. Sgnd
