A mop-up is only an act of putting finishing touches to a programme of action. A mop-up presupposes that the task is basically finish other than for a several finishing touches below and there. In the important section of the NIA’s Ghana card registration in the Upper West Region, far less than 50 percent of the about 472,000 citizens were being registered. How can you contact the next phase a mop-up when a lot more than 50% of the targeted range even now stay unregistered?
As early as 6am on 18th June 2020, patriotic citizens took distressing go away from their farms to queue for the second opportunity to get registered. At about 1PM in Dabo, Busia and Vieri among other folks in the Upper West Region, they have been told registration was not heading to be doable. A lot more painfully these rural farmers were at the various centres again the adhering to day (19th June 2020) and as at 4pm there was nevertheless no hope in sight at numerous, if not all, the centres. This is unacceptable.
When farmers are dealt with with this level of disrespect and disdain in no less a year than a farming period, it is only obvious that apathy is staying induced either deliberately or as a result NIA leadership incompetence. The repercussions can be pricey.
This is the condition of the procedures rolled out by Prof Ken Attafuah’s NIA. It’s just nauseating and appalling to say the the very least. No a single requires a prophet to be ready to explain to that the deadline of 3rd July for the Upper West Region will not be met even if the course of action ended up to operate efficiently.
Numerous who before registered could not obtain their playing cards though some received far more than one card with various quantities.
In summary, the NIA registration approach which is costing the country more than a billion US pounds is a finish sham, an shame to the Ghanaian.
