For Immediate release
NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS.
SUHUM CONSTITUENCY
Suhum NIA Office Turns to NPP Party Office
The Leadership of Suhum NDC has realized the bias and mafia tactics the National Identification Authority (NIA) office has deployed in running their affairs.
The consistent and selective approach the NIA officials have adopted in issuing the identity cards to various applicants is uncalled for, unconstitutional and clear violation of the right of some citizens in Suhum and it’s environment.
The NDC leadership has received complaints over the period, concerning how some citizens, purported to be NDC members who seek to get their cards from the NIA are made to go through so many unofficial Bureaucracies which always frustrates them in getting their cards in the long run.
We have also noted how the Municipal Chief Executive and the Member of Parliament have hijacked the processes and the system of issuing the cards.
From a reliable source, the MCE and the MP have always been influencing the process by giving their members protocol in skipping these unofficial bureaucracies subjected to others, these unfair practice aids their members to get their cards within the shortest possible time, while those purported to be NDC sympathizers are always deprived for accessibility, however they(the NIA officials) turn to blame a supposed “shortage of production materials” which is not the case.
We can state in this content without fear or favor that, there are materials available but the NIA office in Suhum is being used by some Politicians to achieve their parochial interest.
We, The NDC in Suhum is therefore calling on the media and other stakeholders to come to the aid of the citizens who are purported to be NDC members.
We are also throwing this flying release to the MP, MCE and all other stakeholders who are using their office for gaining Political Capital to desist from it with immediate effect and give an equal opportunities to all Ghanaians in obtaining their NIA cards.
